However, at the first look I would say that the best solution would be for the .swf files to have some sort of resizing function that you would be able to call from your loader and then the elements of the .swf would each resize as needed. Unfortunately this can be done by having that code inside the .swf, which I'm not sure if the convertion software allows. I'm sorry that I can't help you on this matter but at the moment nothing pops into my mind. But if you manage to solve the problem I'd love to hear about it. Deb,

Have you developed a way of doing the same with loaded swf files? I am loading an external swf through as3 and xml and am searching the web for a way of resizing loaded swfs by pixel designation (I know scaling works). Looks like it's a common unanswered question or the answer is, it is not possible. I would just like to limit the size of a swf until I either resize to screenResolutionX and Y params or use FullScreen. The FLVPlayback has a nice built in skin/player that works with Flash well. Since I am trying to display powerpoint presentations that have been converted (with powerCONVERT by PresentationPro) to swf and are played within a player, I need to do some additional coding. I'm creating a projector application that has the ability to toggle fullscreen. I also have animations and swf presentations to play and would like to add full screen capabilities to these as well. More issues than I'm asking you for help about, but basically, I'd like to be able to give a width and height to any swf loaded and then be able to change that parameter. Scaling works fine, but doesn't allow me to use the detected screenResolutionX and Y, width and height, to my advantage. Thanks :) Great code.

I've updated the post so now there's an example on how to use it. Also, I've updated the class (a missing line of code) and now it's the latest version. Hope this helps. @mwa,

But I'm not sure exactly how ? Let's say that I will click on a button or on the laoder itself and I would like that will scale. I'm beginner in as3 so , I don't know if you could give me some clue of what I need to do. (let's say that i'm working with the flash IDE and write the code on the timeline) Thanks !!
