[Xerte] Re: Constraining a movie

[Julian Tenney]

Constrain is a method of ICON, but the MOVIE is not a movieclip, so you should use setSize()

Subject: [Xerte] Constraining a movie

According to the Xerte reference constrain() is a method of the icon class, so I would have expected it to be available to a movie icon.
However I noticed that in the code for the textVideo page the code uses

movie.setSize(800,434);

rather than

movie.constrain(800,434);

I tried using constrain as I wanted to ensure the movies aspect ratio was not affected by a change of size and it appeared to have no effect.

Is constrain() not available as a method for movie icons?

Kind regards

Johnathan
