Sizing to different resolutions

[thumbslinger]

When I check this site out: www.danecook.com, whether it appears on a 21" crt monitor set at 800x600 resolution or on a 19" lcd set at 1280 x 1024, the site fills the screen, yet it doesn't resize when dragging the browser window.

It moves to stay aligned, which makes sense, but how can one design an image that looks the same size on both resolutions?

The Scale to fit would distort small type and image clarity as the screen is made bigger so I don't see how that's the only thing used here.

Good Question, what is the best way to design for multiple screen sizes? Anyone got a link?

It's actually really easy:

Stage.align = "BC";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

put that in your first frame

BC is "bottom, centered"

his flash probably is "RC"

all you have to do is make sure your flash movie extends way outside the work area.

http://www.rjames.org/ver2/ is the site i'm currently using this on. see how it aligns to the bottom center no matter the size of the screen?
