Swf loads into loader wrong size

1

Dear All

I want to load a swf into a loader componant. I want it to be half size on the stage. I have been having problems getting it the right size.

I drag the loader element onto the stage, and set its size to 200x142 (which is half size). I then set the path and the resize in the parameters.

WHen I test it comes out twice as big - ie back to normal. If I set the size to 400 x 284 it comes out twice as big again ie around 800px.

ISo in the end I went with 100X 71 option and published inside a html page the first time it loads its tiny tiny and then if you press F5 it reloads but the correct size (ie 200X142 - half size - which is what I want…)

Help!!! What’s going on.

the offending beast can be viewed at http://www.ee-web.co.uk/indexLoader.html. Press on the link “joseph storehouse”. its the tiny slide show that appears half way down on the left.

would really appreciate any help

Thanks

you would set the scale of the object once its loaded

loadfile
mc._xscale = mc.yscale = 50

changing the loader MC size and the content will just go crazy

Loaded the swf into a mc rather than a loader componant and it works fine
