Maintain native size on loaded swf into as3 movie

Question

Hey Guys

Anyone know how to maintain the original stage size of a externally loaded swf in as3 FP10??

I can't find any documentation on it and don't want to mask it.

Thanks

Sam

Answer 1

After the loader completed loading, it has the original width and height of your external swf.

By calling addChild(loader); you place the swf in your DisplayObject.

Answer 2

No. That's not the way it's designed to work. You can set the loader's width and height after load, but you'll have to mask it if you have things hanging off the stage in the loaded SWF.
