Hello,
I am creating a slideshow within Flash that uses XML data pulled from a
database. Is there any way to manipulate the image size from within Flash? The
images need to be 1600 x 900, and it's okay if they end up being distorted...

Of course, I have made the Flash movie this size, but it makes no difference -
the image sizes stay the same.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

You will need to use MovieClipLoader and when the onLoadComplete or
onLoadInit events occur, you can change the dimensions of the target_mc
argument. You can use _xscale and _yscale for example and any MovieClip
property or method.

MovieClipLoader.onLoadInit :
