Hi there, I wondered if I could get some help regarding formatting of my Flash website. Basically, my website doesn’t have a white background, but also has a couple of colours in the background - So inotherwords, if placed on a single colour background (via html colour code) it still looks like a strange block, just like it does when naturally formatted (white background).

I know you can stretch it to fill the entire space, but I don’t want to stretch the design, it looks ridiculous. So I want the site to display as large as possible - So, either fully sizes horizontally or vertically depending on the size of the viewer’s monitor and web browser, and I’ll have a black background - This will leave EITHER two black horizontal bars or two black vertical bars, depending on the monitor settings.

Here is a couple of images of what I mean:
