hmm, i’m having this problem and i’m not sure how to solve it, (see code below) basically what happens is, information from a main.swf file is passed to a 2nd swf file, and that 2nd file creates a resizing box everytime a new thumbnail in the main.swf file is clicked on. i have the resizing and stuff working properly, the only problem i have now is loading the jpg of the image to be displayed. i made it so theres 2 frames, to keep updating itself, but when i do that it causes this annoying flickering, i think cuz it keeps trying to load the jpg constantly or something, does anyone know how to solve this?

i’ve tried doing it on 1 frame, but when i do that, the jpg doesnt load.

this code is from my 2nd file:

onEnterFrame = function() {

//Calculates How Large to Resize  
new\_image\_width = \_root.image\_width - mc\_boundry\_box.\_width;  
new\_image\_height = \_root.image\_height - mc\_boundry\_box.\_height;

//Easing Motion Tween  
mc\_boundry\_box.\_width += new\_image\_width/10;  
mc\_boundry\_box.\_height += new\_image\_height/10;

}

//Loads Image After Boundry Box is Done Resizing and Centers It  
if (Math.ceil(mc\_boundry\_box.\_width) == \_root.image\_width) {

mc\_image.loadMovie(\_root.file\_name);  
mc\_image.\_x = (500 - \_root.image\_width) / 2;  
mc\_image.\_y = (450 - \_root.image\_height) / 2;

}

\_root.file\_name is from the main.swf file, and is basically just something.jpg  
\_root.image\_width is the image width of something.jpg,  
\_root.image\_height is the image height of something.jpg,

if anyone can help me it’d be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot
