it’s not like you actually change the background color… but it works pretty good. 😛
```auto
changeBackground = function (hex) {
_level0.beginFill(hex);
_level0.moveTo(0, 0);
_level0.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
_level0.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
_level0.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
_level0.lineTo(0, 0);
_level0.endFill();
};
changeBackground(0xCC0000);
```

I will be more precise.
Your’s example draw’s a square and than fills it with color.
In fullscrenn you can still see the old movie clip color like a border, I would like to change a movie clip background color because the movie is in full screen.

```auto
changeBackground = function (hex) {
var xres = System.capabilities.screenResolutionX, yres = System.capabilities.screenResolutionY;
_level0.beginFill(hex);
_level0.moveTo(-xres, -yres);
_level0.lineTo(xres, -yres);
_level0.lineTo(xres, yres);
_level0.lineTo(-xres, yres);
_level0.lineTo(-xres, -yres);
_level0.endFill();
};
changeBackground(0xCC0000);
```
that should cover the whole screen.
