Still way too complicated Oliver. ;o)   Compile this little scrap
of code with swfc instead:

###################################
.flash filename="loadswf.swf" bbox=200x200 version=8 fps=60 compress
  .box spot width=1 height=1 color=black

.sprite view_frame
  .put spot x=0 y=0
  .action:
    var dummy_value=0;
  .end
.end

.action:
   loadMovie("Test.swf",_root.view_frame);
.end
  .put view_frame x=10 y=20 scale=15%
.end
###################################

Now you've done that, you can then apply the x/y scaling and
width/height tweaks, to the view_frame object.

That's ok.  I'm cr** at AS3 as well as a few other things.  Age in
my case probably.  Make all this up as I up along anyway. ;o) 

>I'll rather do it in ac3, if I could.

See if you can convert the above scrap to AS3?

One of the viewers in the distribution has been coded in C.  Take a look.
  
HTH.
