Hey everyone. I’m experimenting with making a Flash alternative to my XHTML site ([www.krisgosser.com](http://www.krisgosser.com)). Here’s what I have so far:

[www.krisgosser.com/f/](http://www.krisgosser.com/f/)

Now here’s what I did. I put a listener on a Stage.onResize. So when the stage is resized, the black bar will extend to the end. Now here’s the thing - **I want to have it ease into that width.** I’m having a dilly of a time figuring out whether I need to have a while loop somewhere, or whether I need to attach something to a onClipEvent(enterFrame) for that movie clip.

Any help would be great! To view my .fla, download from [here](http://www.krisgosser.com/f/index.fla).
