Display an image part 2

[Hockeyfreak889]

ok the other day i posted about how to actually display an image and then what the best way would be to read in a location of an image and then display it.

Now my new question is how do you resize an image. At the moment the image i display is huge, you can only see about half of it when the screen is maximized. How would i set the size to be smaller. Also another problem, which probably has to do with the way i did it is that the image doesnt appear untili maximize the screen. Could you guys look at this code and tell me what you think.
Thanks.

for resizing an image: http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t126229-resize-imagejpg-problem.html

your other issue, i believe it is because there is no repaint occuring until your maximise forces one.
