AS for Proportional Scaling makes MC Disappear?

programming flash
1

Hey all, hoping I might be able to get a hand here. I’m creating a simple liquid flash site layout with one MC that does not scale and remains at a constant position, and one mc that should stretch to fit either the height or width (whichever’s larger) of the stage, but scale proportionally.

I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the code for that, but when I put it in, the mc doesn’t scale at all, in fact it just disappears! Could anyone take a look and let me know if you see what’s wrong?


stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

setStage();

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, stageResize);

function setStage():void {
    var WIDTH:Number=stage.stageWidth;
    var HEIGHT:Number=stage.stageHeight;
    nav.x=100;
    nav.y=0;
    text_mc.width = WIDTH;
    text_mc.height = HEIGHT;
    ( text_mc.scaleX < text_mc.scaleY ) ? text_mc.scaleY = text_mc.scaleX : text_mc.scaleX = text_mc.scaleY;

    
}

function stageResize(e:Event):void {
    setStage();
}
