1. I have a viewable area of 400 x 400.
2. A movie clip's width and height dynamically change.
3. I need an equation that gives me the scale percentage (up or down, and proportionally) to fit the movieclip within the viewable area.

Pretty simple, but I'm terrible at math. Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Correct answer Greg Dove

I had a situation where I had something similar.

Quick description:
Loading a clip into another movieclip called imageHolder.
Inside imageHolder is another clip (which would be the equivalent of your 400x400 area. This clip is called imageBackdrop. In my scenario this could change size and shape at different times.

I load other images/clips into imageHolder. In the onLoadInit handler, I have code like this:

imageLoadListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip){

...etc:

Or the quick and easy way to do it... is to use a Loader component with scaleContent = true.
