Resize dynamically loaded image

[nate2099]

Hi,

I am bringing an image name into flash using flashvars. How do I resize the image in flash to match the size of the movie clip??

Thanks,

Nathan.

You would want to set the image to an object (aka a graphic or movieclip on import(so put it inside one)

If the movieclip has an instance name of img_holder, then you can resize the movieclip like so:

img_holder._width = value;
img_holder._height = value;

I don't want to resize the actual movie clip, it has to be 240 x 180. Problem was that the images users upload can be in any resolution... say 800 x 600. When I dynamically loaded this into the MC it only displayed the top left 240x180px.

I've since changed tack, and am now resizing the images when they are uploaded using php,

Thanks for the reply though!!

Cheers,

Nathan.
