Let’s say we have a bar stretching across the whole top of the screen with the following code:  
Code:  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.display.StageAlign;  
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;  
import flash.events.Event;

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO\_SCALE;  
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP\_LEFT

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);

//function to handle background image resize.  
function setBackground() {  
this.width = stage.stageWidth;  
}  
setBackground();

function resizeHandler(event:Event):void {  
setBackground();  
};  
Then, lets say we have text inside of this movieclip on the right and left sides… How do you anchor this text to each side without it scaling?
