All,
I've come up with a solution - it's not perfect, but it's pretty
robust and reliable.
If anyone is following this thread and would like more detail, send me an email.
Cheers,
Matt Stuehler

Why not place a movie clip, behind the bottom-most background layer (or,
make it invisible) that is the same size as the "desired" size(or "visible"
height & width) you wish the swf to be read as, by the main stage (assuming
that is what you are trying to do)?
That way, if your swf is really 800 X 600, you can have the main stage call
the swf to see what the desired size is of the incoming swf, (400 X 300)
and do with that information whatever it is you are trying to do. (I dunno
if that makes any sense?)
Heck, I'm not even sure if what you are attempting to do can be done that
way, or not - I'm still trying to get a handle on ActionScript, myself! I
sure wish they would stop re-writing/updating ActionScript it long enough
for the slower of us to catch on! :-P
Also, what about "_lockroot"? If it's a matter of your ext. swfs being
re-sized because they are being imported onto the stage, perhaps using
"_lockroot" might prevent that (although, I am not sure if that actually
controls the stage size of the swf ,or not).
