Is there a way to change a user’s screen resolution via Actionscript?

For laptop users, I’d like to be able to set the user’s resolution to 1280 x 1024 so they can view the whole movie without using the scroll bars, then set it back to their original configuration when finished.

I know one could do this in Director some time back, but I don’t know how to do it in Flash.

Thanks!
