I’ve got my almost finished projector, and i dynamically load the content movies into a scrollPane, once a button is pressed.

I can scale the movie (reduce the projector size and the text/pics shrink) for each button, except this particular one, when i click the button and it loads the movie, i am no longer able to scale for any section. I resize the projector, but the text and pictures stay the same size.

The problem movie itself contains dynamically loaded movies, which are loaded in the first frame then can be played with a play/stop button.

Anyone got any ideas? It’s kinda frustrating as the program is a tutorial and it needs to be resized so the peeps can have it open as well as the program being taught (Native Instruments Reaktor if your interested:thumb: ).

I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that i’m loading these videos (screen capture videos made with Camtasia, exported as .swf) within a dynamically loaded swf.

have you tried fscommand?  
I use it with almost all my projector files.  
try using:

```auto

fscommand ("allowscale", false)

```

Yeah i’ve tried that, it doesnt work. Well it kinda does - i’ve put that in my button command so after the projector loads the problem movie, clicking on another button allows the projector to be scaled again.

Theres something strange with this external movie… maybe its something that Camtasia adds to the .swf it creates… i dunno…
