avatar resizing

 it seems to be impossible to have avatars larger than a certain size on the stage - this is a big problem!!!

i have uploaded 2 avatars that were 100px high .swf files in the original; on stage they are approx 3-4 times bigger. then i created another avatar that should be much bigger than these two, so i made the original .swf 300px high; to my surprise, this avatar appears on stage at exactly the same height as the other avs which were originally 100px high.

i then made the original of the should-be-bigger av 100px, & uploaded it, & it is exactly the same size as the av which was originally 300px.

i then tried making the original 500px tall, & STILL is is no bigger than the other avatars.

mem has also reported similar problems:
"most of the props and avatars that were bigger (200 or 300 px) were transformed: props to 100 x 100 px measured in "original" size, and avatars 127 x 100 px (i left one av and one prop file on tribute stage for a trying-size). so, if were bigger than that, avs were transformed to rectangles, props to squares!!!
but, if starting original (file which is uploaded as avatar) is, for example: 254 x 100, it will be resized to 127 x 50 px - what means that proportions are saved, which is good for avs, but not for props: 254 x 100 will be 100 x 100 (i think... cos, i came to that by experiment last week or so, when i had some free time, i uploaded bigger jpgs to see how it will resize, etc. but didn't check after that)."
