Youtube, external video, different widget sizes

Hi Everyone,

I require guidance on some conceptual questions that I have.

Suppose I am designing a widget that is 400x300 and in that I want to import a youtube video (which is an external swf). Through loadClip I am able to do this, but I face a lot of issues.

Like for eg the space in which (container) I want to load the youtube movie, I am not able to confined it into that space by just giving that container a width/height.

After lot of exploring, if I give it _xscale and _yscale I can somehow get it to those coordinates and dimensions but still dont understand why it just doesnt load into that space like a photo that I would import.

Now, suppose I want to increase the size of this widget to something like 500x500 - whats the best way to do this?

  1. Create a new widget with 500x500 dimenions? Too painful.

  2. Just while embedding change dimensions of 400x300 widget to 500x500?
    This works when I just load photos but not youtube videos. It screws my stage and just keep it like 400x300 and not 500x500.

Can someone please clear these doubts and if possible supplement with example code?

Thank you so much,
Mandy.
