How to autosize a externally loaded swf

[gkbdave]

How do you change the size of a externally loaded swf into a container movie clip?

What I have is a swf that i am loading into a container in anohter movie, however the loaded swf is larger than my container. I want to load this into the container but it remains the same as its original size

Is there a way to make it resize?

Hi,

This method allows you to load a movie to the size and postion of your choice.Paste this onto the first frame of a test movie.....

code:

---

_root.onLoad = function() {

	_root.loaded = true;

}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

	if (_root.loaded == true) {

		return;

	}

	if (_root.container._width>0) {

		with (_root.container) {

			_x = 100;

			_y = 100;

			_width = 100;

			_height = 100;

		}

		_root.loaded = true;

		delete this.onEnterFrame;

	}

}

myButton.onRelease = function() {

	_root.loaded = false;

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

}

Hi,

Horizontal or vertical scrolling? Either/or...... you can put a dynamic textfield inside a movieclip and manipulate the movieclips _x or _y position. You could also use a mask to only reveal the part of the scrolling text that you want. One thing to remember, when putting a dynamic textfield into a movieclip that has a property manipulated, the font outline for the textfield needs to be embedded for the text to show up.
