Using Actionscript to size a called image??? HELP Please.

[med23]

Hi guys,

Need some help. My company hired a higher level developer than myself (I'm a intermediate flash programmer at best) for a certain job. He is using actionscript to call an outside source folder's images into a target area in a flash frame when buttons are clicked. The client (for whatever reason) insists that the images be used at 80% when brought into the target area so that when someone zooms in on the browser, there is minimal distortion. Crazy, I know, but that is what they want.

So the question is, can the developer easily use actionscript to bring in an image at a set width/height or a set proportion into the target area? If not, what is the best alternative?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

If I'm understanding right, you can set the _xscale and the _yscale of the mc like this:

Code: Select all

my_mc._xscale = 80;
my_mc._yscale = 80;

Thanks a lot for the help. I will have to see if the developer can use this.
