full screen with border

[tinnesda]

I am trying to make an application that is full screen but creates a border around the edge of the screen regardless of the screen resolution. I have created a movie clip that serves as the border.
I am using this code.

FRAME 1:
fscommand ("allowscale", "true");
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
var ww;
var hh;
fscommand("fas.Shell.GetScreenWH","ww,hh");

FRAME 5:
_level0.border._width = ww;
_level0.border._height = hh;

but it never seems to be lined up around the edge on different resolutions. Any ideas?

never tried it, but can't you check the resolution of the screen, and according to that go to an mc (or a frame in an mc) with the right border in it?

I suppose but that seems kinda chinsy, I would just like to know why the code I am using does not work like it should. Seems to me like it should work, must be missing something simple I am sure.

well, I think it's just the fact that you adress the ww and the hh before you give them a value...

and perhaps I should try to note it like this...


hh = _level0.border._height;


but I'm not quite a good scripter myself, so don't shoot me if it wont work :)
