URGENT - actionscript question

Hey all. I’ve got a client who’s asking about resizing dynamically loaded images in flash.

basically i’m building him a button that displays dyn. text and loads a .png based on a variable (easy).

I’m going to tell him that actionscript/flash really has no means of resizing a loaded image and that you need some type of server-side script to do all of that. is that essentially true? what are options?

thanks a ton for any feedback y’all!
