You have to wait for your image to load before you can change the
width and height. your Loader instance has a contentLoaderInfo
property that is an instance of the LoaderInfo class. The LoaderInfo
instance will dispatch the Event.INIT event when your Loader instance
is ready to be manipulated. You can listener for the event like this:
backLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, resizeImage);
and then you would have to add a new method to your class called
resizeImage (or whatever you want to call it as long as it matches
the name in the addEventListener argument):
public function resizeImage():void {
backLoader.width = 100; // or whatever your new width is
backLoader.height = 100; // or whatever your new height is
}

Hi Gustavo,
the load method takes a URLRequest instance, not a String. So change:
backLoader.load("http://leftandrightsolutions.com/backy1.jpg";);
to:
backLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://leftandrightsolutions.com/
backy1.jpg"));
