Hi
probably a simple thing, but I have a movieclip with various layers in it, and I'm duplicating this clip according to an XML document. If the XML indicates an image, I'm grabbing that image from a directory on the server and loading it into the movie clip.
Problem is, the images are all different sizes, so I'm guessing what I need to do is to target the loader box within that movie clip and resize it according to how big the image I've just loaded is.
But as far as I can see, the size of the image loaded is only ever as big as the loader I've put on the stage inside of this movie clip. So its a bit catch 22.
So the question is how do you make the loader scale to fit the image rather than the other way around? I thought about putting the image size in the XML itself, but thought that was cheating a bit. I'm sure theres a better way.
I've had a look through the forum but could only find things for AS2 not AS3. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
