scrolling images too big

[xbiral]

hia

i'm trying to have bunch of images with animated buttons scrolling.

All the tutorials i've found involve placing the bunch of images next to eachother lined up and ready on stage.
My problem is my bunch of images are too many and too big (which is very necesary).

Is it posible to load them externally.

cheers

..ok so i figured i should just scale the bunch of images down in the scrolling.swf, and then load the scrolling.swf in a layout.swf and scale it up.
But when i do this my entire layout.swf stretches too.
Can someone tell me how to just scale the loaded swf.


_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",10);
_root.container._visible = false;
_root.container.loadMovie("clothing.swf");
_root.container._xscale = _yscale = 200;
_root.container._visible = true;

_root.container._xscale = _yscale = 200;
what is that all about
i dunno what you are trying to do but that alone could mess it up do this instead, why did you make it visible and then flase and why didn't you put it in the clipevent handler

code:

---

onClipEvent(load) {

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",10);

_root.container.loadMovie("clothing.swf");

_root.container._xscale = 200;

_root.container._xscale = _root.container._yscale; 

_root.container._visible = true;

}

---

you also might want put a preloader in the swf you are loading if it is a big file

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",10);
_root.container.loadMovie("clothing.swf");
