Resizing loaded movies

[bob_the_mac]

I'm trying to load movies (swf) of various sizes into one base movie for navigation. Is there any way to scale a loaded movie?

No, if you want things to line up you have to have all the movies the same size. other words they will line up in the top left corrner. Regards, Bill

You're base movie (_level0) defines a number of attributes for all other movies you load in, and one of these is movie size. If the movie you are loading is not the same size before you load it, it will be after you've loaded it! As far as I know there's nothing you can do about it ...

There is a way to get control over loaded movie clips.

Place one movie clip (it should contain everything in the loaded movie)inside the loaded movie. Give the movie an instance name ("movie2scale") and you can target that movie clip inside the loaded movie.

Although you are not really scaling the loaded movie this has the same effect.

An example:

Load Movie ("movie2load.swf", 2)
Begin Tell Target ("_level2/movie2scale")
Set Property ("", X Scale) = 50
End Tell Target

Hope this helps,
