Hey all,

I have some MCs which I have stretched (keyframed) to suit the content that is loaded into them. I have used the [external preloader tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm).

The problem I have, is that when the MCs are stretched, it’s stretching the ‘loading’ text in the transitions. Is there a simple way around this?

I assume it might be possible with \_xscale, or something similar. The MC’s are only stretching horizontally.

Cheers,
