I’ve seen this done a couple times but I can’t find any tutorials on it. I want an background image in my main flash stage to automatically scale to the full screen of a users browser/resolution. I’m trying not to have any background color, but rather let the image take up the entire viewing area.

Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Thanks.
