I don't know how to resize a movieclip created at runtime......

Correct answer BobbyDreamer
my_mcl is a MovieClipLoader, but the onLoadComplete event acts on a listener object, which you don't seem to have defined... so you also need to add to your code the following:

var listener:Object = new Object();
my_mcl.addListener(listener);
listener.onLoadComplete = function() {
// code here...
};

but I would recommend that you use:

listener.onLoadInit = function() {
// code here
}

because onLoadInit actually initializes the loaded image thus allowing you to set properties to your heart's content...

Good luck,

Thank You. It works. I used _xscale and _yscale.

var listener:Object = new Object();
my_mcl.addListener(listener);
listener.onLoadComplete = function() {
my_mc._xscale=25;
my_mc._yscale=25;

};

wow. i'm really getting used to AS3. lol. my mistake bobby. I forgot to add the listener object and attach it to the MovieClipLoader in my example. My apologies. Looks like you've got things moving along now. Good for you.

any time you are using MovieClipLoader, loadMovie or loadMovieNum you have to wait until the load is complete before you can do anything with the mc's properties.

my_mcl.onLoadComplete = function() {
this.width = 100;
this.height = 100;
}

Thank you, for the reply. Iam still getting an error, saying

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 14: There is no property with the name 'onLoadComplete'.
my_mcl.onLoadComplete = function():Void {

How can this error be solved.
