Question

I am trying to get an image in Actionscript by using the Loader and URL. The image is coming fine and I am able to display it on screen after the event is completed. What I want to do is resize the image on screen. I am unable to do this. How do I proceed?

I tried setting loader.content.width which didn’t work. I tried setting loader.content.scaleX which also didn’t work. I am a novice at this, am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Loader inherits from DisplayObject, meaning you need to modify width, height, etc directly:

loader.width = 100;
loader.height = 120;
// etc

You can modify any of the properties listed here directly via the instance of Loader:
