Hi, I have a flash site that has various background images taking up the full browser window while the foreground elements remain the same. My problem is I want the background images to scale proportionately so they don’t distort. A example of what I have been trying to pull off is [redtettemer.com](http://redtettemer.com).

This is the script I am using where portfolio\_bg is the mc that has the background images:

Stage.scaleMode = “noScale”;  
Stage.align = “TL”;

var stageListener:Object = new Object ();  
stageListener.onResize = positionContent;  
Stage.addListener(stageListener);

function positionContent():Void {  
portfolio\_bg.\_width = Stage.width;  
portfolio\_bg.\_height = Stage.height;

}

positionContent();

any ideas? thanks in advance.
