loadMovie and setting size

[Zath]

I am using the code below to load a movie into a container.
The movie is too big for the container and I need to resize it.


this.createEmptyMovieClip("loader",1);

loader._x=0;
loader._y=0;

//loader._width = 456; // makes the movie disappear
//loader.height = 341;

loader.loadMovie("testdraganddrop.swf");


I've been looking around for a way to do this with no luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks all,

Zath

just set the size of the loader once the movies loaded in it, it should affect both of them.

loader._xscale = 50;
loader._yscale = 50;

will reduce the overall size by half.
