Size problem while importing external swf map

[jam82]

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

I'm trying to import an external swf Africa map via loadClip function in my .fla. I'm encountering some issues with the size of the imported movie clip, since the imported map takes up all the space in the stage, while I want it to be large only 200x200. Here is the code I'm using right now:

 

 

 

var continent_container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("ContinentHolder", 1);

 

 

 

var movLoad:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

 

 

 

var myListener:Object = new Object();

 

myListener.onLoadInit = function(thisMc:MovieClip) {

 

thisMc._height = 200;

 

thisMc._width = 200;

 

thisMc._x = 10;

 

thisMc._y = 10;

 

};

 

 

 

movLoad.addListener(myListener);

 

 

 

movLoad.loadClip("Africa.swf", "ContinentHolder");

 

 

 

This code does not work, that is tha map is not displayed at all, but if I remove the lines:

 

 

 

thisMc._height = 200;

 

thisMc._width = 200;

 

 

 

everything works and the map with the wrong size is placed in the right position. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
