Hi,
Since you are loading a swf in a mc that mc doesn't have any "size" . It is
that mc that will have to be resized to fit your desired screen area. So,
you first have to define your screen area and position, like for example:
<code>
screen_width=320;
screen_height=240;
//top-left corner:
screen_x=0;
screen_y=0;
//preload function ****************************************************
function preload_myMc(){//preload function that will resize the mc when
loaded and having retreived its size
var loaded_bytes=container.getBytesLoaded();
var total_bytes=container.getBytesTotal();
if(loaded_bytes==total_bytes && total_bytes > 25 && container._width !=
undefined){
clearInterval(preload_ID);
delete preload_ID;
//resize the mc to fit the desired screen area
var
scale_ratio=Math.floor(Math.min(container._width/screen_width,container._hei
ght/screen_height)*100);//set the smaller possible ratio
container._xscale=scale_ratio;
container._yscale=scale_ratio;
//center the container
container._x=screen_x+((screen_width-container._width)/2);
container._y=screen_y+((screen_height-container._height)/2);
}else{
//do something while waiting
}
}
//**************************
container.loadmovie("my.swf");
preload_ID=setInterval(preload_myMc,50);
</code>
Hope this helps.
