Am struggling to find the right as3 code to resize an image once it is dynamically called into the stage and placed in a MC. I am loading using:
var myLoader :Loader = new Loader();
mc.addChild(myLoader);
var url :URLRequest = new URLRequest("myimage.jpg");
myLoader .load(url );
The stage will eventually open up into fullscreen (works ok) so I need to keep the image in its original size which is much bigger than the stage.
What I need to do is shrink it on loading to the same height as the stage whilst keeping the width in proportion (oh and center it). I have tried all sorts of codes but cant find anything to work as all I have managed to do is resize the MC containing the image but NOT the image itself. Any guidance as to the correct code would be greatly appreciated.
I am guessng it is as simple as something like
"myimage".x=600;
but if so what is the correct way to write the image name, as I have written it seems erroneous. Many thanks

I try answer your questions
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.Event;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var image:Bitmap;
var url :URLRequest = new URLRequest("im1.jpg");
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded);
myLoader.load(url);
function onImageLoaded(e:Event):void {
image = new Bitmap(e.target.content.bitmapData);
var mw:Number = stage.stageWidth;
var mh:Number = stage.stageHeight;
/* if you set width and height image same with the stage use this */
image.width = mw;
image.height = mh;
mc.addChild(image);
}
