Hello,

I have a video clip 640x480 that is embedded into the timeline. On the side, I have a bar that is 60x480.

Now, I want to make the movie stretch over the whole screen on full-screen mode, and the bar will be over the movie (Unlike normal-mode that the side bar is on the right of the movie).

I don’t manage doing this right:  
I have tried to define the stage 700x480 - But when I go to full screen, the movie doesn’t stretch over it all.

When I define the stage 640x480, the initial window only shows the video, and does not present the area of the side bar.

For summery, I would like to know if there is a way to change the window size of the player within the action script code. Or to instruct the full-screen mode to stretch only the movie over the whole screen, while still allowing to present the side bar in normal mode.

Thanks,  
OML
