I dropped a UILoader onto a stage so an external .swf file will play within it (let’s call it “external.swf”). I can see “external.swf” and all in my movie, but it doesn’t maintain its original width and height; it covers everything in my movie. I DO have some things off to the side of the stage within external.swf that’s showing. (the external.swf is a simple slide-show that moves images across the stage.)

How can I get it so the UILoader only shows what’s on the stage for external.swf?

P.S. I’m using the UILoader component, I didn’t hard-code this.
