If I am loading in backgrounds to the stage at a size of 1280x1024 - is there a way to make the background resize itself too 1024x768 if the resolution is changed or the user is using that resolution (not worried about 800x600…)?

I know about stage listeners ect but I can’t seem to figure out how it would be done.

thanks for any help, cheers
