Making Stage fill screen or not

I'm just expanding on Chuck's article about having the stage fill the screen.

Using the stage.rect and the stage.drawRect you can scale most everything and still get "normal" playback. here's how I did it... global oldSettings , gFullScreen on prepareMovie --change this setting to 1 or 2 --1 being normal, 2 being full screen set gFullScreen = 1 checkRes end on CheckRes me if gFullScreen = 1 then changeResFull else if gFullScreen = 2 then changeResNorm end if end on changeResFull me if float(the DesktopRectList[1][3]) / the deskTopRectList[1][4] <> (640.0/480) then oldSettings = [(the stage).rect, (the stage).drawRect] (the stage).rect = the deskTopRectList[1] (the stage).drawRect = the deskTopRectList[1] end if end on changeResNorm me if float(the DesktopRectList[1][3]) / the deskTopRectList[1][4] <> (640.0/480) then oldSettings = [(the stage).rect, (the stage).drawRect] w = (the deskTopRectList)[1].width h = (the deskTopRectList)[1].height dw = (w - 640) / 2 dh = (h - 480) / 2 (the stage).rect = (rect(dw, dh, 640 + dw, 480 + dh)) (the stage).drawRect = (rect(0, 0, 640, 480) end if end on returnScreen me if listP(oldSettings) then (the stage).rect = oldSettings[1] (the stage).drawRect = oldSettings[2] end if end on getBehaviorDescription me describe = "This script allows you to enlarge the stage to full screen and stretches the cast members with it. Note that Text and Field members do not scale and this could slow performance." return describe end There are a couple of drawbacks to this method. 1 - Text and field members do not currently scale 2 - Bitmaps that are scaled will slow performance on slower machines 3 - On dual monitor systems that see both monitors as a single desktop (Windows NT only) this script is disabled to prevent stretching of image to twice the original width. Play with it and see if it works for you. Obviously you get better performance scaling an 800 X 600 project down to 640 X 480 than going the other way. Oh - you can also call 'returnScreen' to return the screen back to normal viewing size.
