scale external movie help

That only seems to scale the loaded movie. It does not change the position.

little bit vague in your description, best to have an example of your code to better show you with the instance names you're using.

But the easiest way is to create a movieclip for your external movie to be loaded into
and apply properties to it.

//generate movieclip to hold external movie
var holder_mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("loaded_mc",this.getNextHighestDepth());
//load movie into new movieclip
holder_mc.loadMovie("myExternalSwf.swf");
//the apply any change in properties you need
holder_mc._xscale = 20;
holder_mc._yscale = 20;
