External Movie Clip visible on window resize only

Question

I am loading an external movie clip in my SWF. The stage scale mode is "no scale" and stage align is TOP LEFT. I am resizing move clip to the actual height and width of parent movie clip using following in OnResize event:

object.x = stage.x;
object.y = stage.y;
object.width = stage.stageWidth;
object.height = stage.stageHeight;

But it's not working. Two important points:

It was working earlier when was using Flash Player older than 10.
Now, it works only when I resize the window. I just can't understand why it's creating the problem.

Any help of any sort would be highly appreciated as I am blocked just coz of this. I don't want to use exact fit scale mode of the stage.

Thanks!

when you say "its not working" what is it actually doing? the parent swf is set to no_scale = so its filling up whatever container its in. How do you have the stageScaleMode of the child set up? If it, too, is set to no_scale, then it "should" also fill the available space (though I've found that particular scenario to be pretty finicky). If its set to SHOW_ALL (the default) then it must be manually scaled up by the parent. — Bosworth99

Remember that the object.height and object.width refers to the active content on the object depending on how you're importing it:

    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    function startLoad()
    {
    var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.swf");
    mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
    mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
    mLoader.load(mRequest);
    }

    function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event)
    {
            var object:MovieClip = loadEvent.currentTarget.content;
            object.x = stage.x;
            object.y = stage.y;
            trace(object.width);
            trace(stage.stageWidth);
            object.width = stage.stageWidth;
            trace(object.height);
            trace(stage.stageHeight);
            //object.height = stage.stageHeight;

            addChild(object);


}
function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent)
{
var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal;
trace(percent);
}
startLoad();

That code above works, but you may be stretching the width to the point where the content is being stretched out of the scene, trace the width and height.

EDIT:

for youtube it would be something like this:

var loader:Loader = new Loader(); - global variable

function initialzer(){
       loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoaderInit);
       loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3"));
}

private function onLoadInit(event:Event){
    addChild(loader);
    loader.content.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
    loader.content.addEventListener("onError", onPlayerError);

}

function onPlayerReady(event:Event):void {
    player = loader.content;
    player.width = 111;
    player.height = 111;
}
