Here’s one for the maths demons out there!

I have an as3 app that loads SWF’s with various movie clips inside with a size of 1280 width and 720 height. I would like to fit these SWFs into a content box of height 885 width by 500 height. The SWF must keep a ratio of 1.77. This would be easy if as3 recognised the SWF being 1280 height by 720 width. It doesn’t however, and takes the size of the movie clips inside the swf which varies (as long as it’s within the original size boundaries).

Does anyone know how I can make the SWF’s fit into the content box even if the movie clip sizes and therefore the original SWF sizes vary?

Thanks

    If you know the original size and it will always be the same then you can just set the scale manually based on the ratio between the original size and the target size.

    885 / 1280 = .69140625
    500 / 720 = .694444444

    so you can just do:

    mySwf.scaleX = mySwf.scaleY = .69;

    And it should be scaled properly.
