[thelist] Flash Question

[Peter Loron]

Ok, thanks to everybody that responded. I've got my elapsed time clock 
working, and I have almost everything else sorted out too. At this 
point, the animation intermittently displays a movie clip in a random 
location on the stage. That works fine.

What I'd like to be able to do is have the stage be dynamically 
resizable by the user. Right now, I'm using a 640x480 stage, which is 
ok, but looks silly when displayed in a fullscreened browser on a 
1280x1024 monitor. I'd like the stage to dynamically expand to fit the 
browser window (even after the movie loads). Can this be done? I dug 
through the tutorials on FlashKit, but didn't see an answer...

Thanks!

-Pete
