Resizing image. [ActionScript]

[Piotr]

Hi,
I'm loading image into movie using this code:
....
picHolder._x = 50
picHolder._y = 110

picHolder.loadMovie(picName);
....

I want to have ability to change image size during loading.
For example i want to load movie in position 50,110 and i want this image to
be resized by 20% (smaller)
Is this possible??
if yes, could someone post a piece of code.

Thanks

Why not just change the source image size BEFORE you bring it into
Flash? It would also benefit from being a smaller file size.

If you want to do it the hard way:

Convert to a symbol. In its propety box give it instance name like
myPicture_mc then then the code is:

myPicture_mc._xscale = 80;
myPicture_mc._yscale = 80;

This would make the image 80% of it original size or 20% smaller.

I have seen reasons for going wither way with this, but yes resizing it
before pulling it in would be best as it will also minimize download
amount and keep the picture looking better as most graphics programs
scall pictures much better than flash will.

Another thing to keep in mind when loading graphics like this is that
they have to be jpegs, and CAN NOT be interlaced. If they are they will
be imported just fine (ie no error) but will not display as Flash does
not have the ability to de-interlace them at this time.
