Movie within a movie.. want to resize inner movie

[10fx]

Hey.. I have a .swf within a .swf. I want to resize the inside .swf because it is too large for the area of the finished movie.

I ask you this because I don't have the .fla file..

thank you

you are using flashMX!?

try

loadMovie("my_swf.swf", my_target);
my_target._xscale = 50;
my_target._yscale = 50;

yes i am using MX

I tried that... and the my_target wouldn't work because I need to have the inner .swf on the z field of 1.. so that parameter goes where my_target goes.

how do you load the swf into the swf?

I have this on its own layer

loadMovieNum("relog.swf", 1);

i think at this point, it would be better if you attach your .FLA in FLASH MX ONLY FORMAT.

also, why don't u use loadMovie instead? still, if we could have a look at ur .FLA(again, in flash mx only format) then perhaps we'd get a bigger chance of solving the problem directly.

Here are screen shots of what the files are... the clock is the inner .swf file that I want to resize and move to the end on the right.

Two key things I want to do:
1. Resize clock .swf
2. Align to the right side of the image



Thanks again

couldnt open barra.fla

did you make that in MX or 5?

But I saw the .SWF's... and I was intrigued... could you maybe explain it to me?

i use flashMX2004 but "save as" flashMX!

i use:

loadMovie("relogio.swf", my_target);
my_target._xscale = 25;
my_target._yscale = 25;

where my_target is the instancename of a empty movieclip ([Ctrl][F8])

i put the emptymovieclip where a what the "relogio.swf" begins (top left corner)

(try the file again!)

Still didn't work.. but my friend told me to put that in.. so I did... but it resize the picture but had nothing to do with placement..

AHH!!! my friend got it to work for me.!! sweeeeeet

Thanks for all the help guys!!!
