Resize function for image or MovieClip with advanced options - Actionscript2 AS2

I found myself often needing to resize images to fit different spaces using actionscript so I wrote this handy function a while back. It allows you to quickly resize the image proportionally to fit your needs and doesn't require much thought. See usage examples below and you'll see what I mean.

//////////////////////////////////////////
/* resizes and returns an object containing the new dimensions of the processed MC 
PARAMS::::::::::::::::::::::
obj       //Movie clip to resize
maxW       //maximum width
maxH       //maximum height
tofit       //resizes proportionally to make the object fit inside specified space 
returnOnly      //returns new size without resizing
disallowScaleUp    //does not resize if image is smaller than target dimensions
USAGE:::::::::::::::::::::::
Resize(obj,300,200)   -resizes the obj to 300px wide, 200px high
Resize(obj,300,'*')   -resizes to 300 wide and calculates the height proportionally
Resize(obj,'*',200)   -resizes to 200 high and calculates the width proportionally
Resize(obj,300,null)  -resizes protpotionally to make the largest side 300
Resize(obj,null,200)  -resizes proportionally to make the smallest side 200
Resize(obj,300,200,1)  -resizes proportionally to make the object fit in a 300X200px space
Resize(obj,300,'*',0,1)  -calculates and returns result but does not resize object
Resize(obj,300,200,1,1)  -calculates and returns result but does not resize object
Resize(obj,300,'*',0,0,1)  -Shrinks to 300 wide only if obj is larger than 300px wide
