Hello,\r\rI really need to use actionscript to edit my movie size.\ri have a movie with the dimensions X=30 Y=30.\r\rnow i can use \_xscale and \_ysacale to edit the but when i load the swf file in a HTML page with for example a width=500\rand height=200. the movie is scaled as a square. because it’s initial size is 30x30.\r\rhow can i use actionscript / javascript to edit the size of the movie?

if you place it’s center in the upper left corner you can just put this in it’s timeline:\r\_x = 0;\r\_y = 0;\r\_width = 500;\r\_height = 200;\r\r:) \rjeremy
