Hi,  
There is a  
[AS]  
System.capabilities.screenResolutionX;  
and a  
System.capabilities.screenResolutionY;  
[/AS]  
When the screen resolution is detected, is that possible to scale up/down  
the movie from flash itself (no java) according to the user screen resolution? Could you please tell me how?  
Is that a standard ratio for different resolutions?  
And the last question:  
If there are external swf movies which are loaded into the main movie, is that enough to give the scaling up/down in the main movie once?

thanks 🙂
