Not quite, actually ;-)

Still, here are some suggestions if the problem isn't already solved:

If the movie clip (MC) is already in your main movie (i.e. not being loaded later on), you could add something like:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_width = 200;
_lenght = 300;
...
}

to the actionscript of the clip (like you do with buttons). This way you can place and resize the clip upon loading.

Hope that helps.

Marc

enterFrame will repeat it every frame. This will slow your flash animation

try to create this in the first frame of your scene

_root.Onload = function() {
_root.nameMovie._width = 200;
_root.nameMovie._lenght = 300;
}

This script will run only once you started the SWF

if you use a onClipEvent you need a movieClip. When you use a function U don't need extra objects, only a empty frame in the master scene.
