Somebody was wondering how to adjust a MC’s movie height and width to the stages but somehow the post got deleted but I was in the process of answering the question. Here is the answer anyways just to post it.

For some reason these numbers were off but I see that no matter what I change the stage to they seem to always stay the same.
onClipEvent(load) {
trace(“The height is:” + Stage.height);
trace(“The width is:” + Stage.width);
this.\_width = Stage.width+4; //change the 4 to whatever the difference is between the actual width and what the trace says.
this.\_height = Stage.height+104;//change the 104 to whatever the difference is between the actual height and what the trace says.
## }
Maybe this will help somebody…

The same thread was posted in the Flash ActionScript section. That’s why the thread in this section was deleted. 🙂
