Resizing an SWF after loading it

[losse]

Hi
I have a movie that loads SWF files using the following

on(release){
loader.loadMovie("video.swf")
}

the video that I am loading is fairly big and I want to resize it when it's loaded... Is there a way to set the width and height in the "loader" so that the video loads a certain heigh and width?

Thanks

add an event listener before loading it:

loader.addEventListener("ready", loaderReadyHandler);
on(release){
	loader.loadMovie("video.swf")
}

then write the loaderReadyHandler method

private function loaderReadyHandler(_event:Event):void
{
	// work out the loader object from the event
	var _loader:Loader = (_event.currentTarget as Loader);
	_loader.height = 200;
	_loader.width = 200;
}

hope that helps

Where would I put the loaderReadyHandler ??

Straight after the first bit of code:

loader.addEventListener("ready", loaderReadyHandler);
on(release){
	loader.loadMovie("video.swf")
}

private function loaderReadyHandler(_event:Event):void
{
	// work out the loader object from the event
	var _loader:Loader = (_event.currentTarget as Loader);
	_loader.height = 200;
	_loader.width = 200;
}

hope it helps!
