AS 2.0 Flash CS3:

Trying to _resize_ external .swf movie clip, imported to a separate flash file with a movie clip container.

The following code works but the .swf is smaller than the container.

on (press) {  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
container\_mc.loadMovie (“abc.swf”, “\_root.containerclip”);  
container\_mc.\_x = -320;  
container\_mc.\_y = -135;  
}

* * *

Added foll. to resize. Keep getting ‘statement must appear within onhandler’.

this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
total = container\_mc.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = container\_mc.getBytesLoaded();  
percent1 = Math.round(loaded/total\*100);  
if (loaded\>total);  
}

Any help appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.
