Confining SWF to a MovieClip in AS3

[BritJ]

I've been searching everywhere, and I can't find an answer to this problem. I'm making a portfolio site for myself, and I'm a total newbie to AS3. I've only had a few problems that I was able to iron out myself through searching, but this has taken me a couple days.

What I want to be able to do is take a gallery I made in Bridge and import the SWF so that it is confined to the size of my predesignated movieclip background. The SWF loads perfectly, it's just that I have navigation at top, and the SWF wants to fill the whole stage. If it does, then everything else gets blocked out.

My code is really simple right now:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("viewer.swf");

myLoader.load(url);
addChild(myLoader);

myLoader.x = 0;
myLoader.y = 0;

How do I fix it so that it only loads up confined to the size of my movieclip, which I'm calling galleryMC?

Try something like this:

var gallery:MovieClip = loader.content as MovieClip;// the loaded swf
gallery.width = galleryMC.width;// set the width of the gallery
gallery.scaleY = gallery.scaleX;// scale proportionally
galleryMC.addChild(gallery);// add the swf to galleryMC

I just added it to my code, and I got an error with this line:

var gallery:MovieClip = loader.content as MovieClip;// the loaded swf

The error read - 1120: Access of undefined property loader.

Change it to myLoader or whatever you named the loader instance.

It loads up, but it still isn't keeping it on the movieclip. I know this is an error on my end, and I'm trying to think of what I didn't do.
