erm, i've tried searching... but it looks like i don't know the exact magic word...
stretching flash with some elements always aligned top, right, left or bottom.. - how is this done?
the only example i can find right now is:

www.timomaas.com

if you notice, the player always stays at the top-centre. also, bottom-left bg image is always bottom-left... and a similar bg image on the right-centre... yet the .fla is set to 100%.

...how?

[dorian]

am i making sense at all?

What this does is scale the stage without scaling content, then it scales a movie clip and centers it to the stage. So basically I make the stage 100% of the browser window and then scaled a movie clip, bgFull_mc, to equal stage width and height. Last part, you add a listener, which detects if the browswer window has been resized, then resizes bgFull_mc as needed.

It is a start, you could create a movie clip and position it how you want, then tell it to match 100% stage width and height, play with it... Works great for backgrounds in flash...

// Control stage size without content resize.
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
_root.bgFull_mc._width = Stage.width;
_root.bgFull_mc._height = Stage.height;
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onResize = function() {
	_root.bgFull_mc._width = Stage.width;
	_root.bgFull_mc._height = Stage.height;
};
Stage.addListener(myListener);
