Are you sure you’re using it correctly? Remember that

> _From the AS Dictionary_  
> Macromedia Flash can use the fscommand action to control the playback and appearance of standalone projectors, as well as launch external applications.  
> And there’s a thread in the Best Of Kirupa about shrinking the Flash Menu 🙂

Remember FScommands are used basically for Operating systems etc, like to control the player or some custom app that flash is wrapped in (ive done it, and its pretty cool) =)

Flash MX allows for… [AS]Stage.showMenu = false;  
Stage.scaleMode = “noScale”;[/AS]

Stage.scaleMode is set as “showAll” by default.

You can use “showAll”, “noScale”, “exactFit”, and “noBorder”
