How to scale a loaded SWF ?

Question

I want to load a swf into a Flex application and scale it down into a thumbnail-size.

I've looked at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/245420/dimensions-of-loaded-swfs-stage, but it does not really address my need: I want to size it and keep all the pieces inside a container.

Thanks

You just need to scale the container that the SWF is in. For example, in vanilla AS3 you'd load into a Loader object. You'd just have to set the scaleX and scaleY properties of that object to scale it down.
