[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’m having troubles with a full screen website I’m working on. Using mc\_tween2.as and materials from [/SIZE][/FONT][[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff]www.laco.wz.cz[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]](http://www.laco.wz.cz/)[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] I bumped into the following issue to do with resizing the aspect ratio of an MC. Curse my maths![/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]

```auto
  //movieClip.command(“what to change”, what to change it to, speed in seconds, ease type, delay);
  cornImg.tween("_width", Stage.width/100*30, 1, "easeoutBack");
  cornImg.tween("_height", Stage.height/100*30*cornImg.width/100*30, 1, "easeoutBack");

```

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]That line there, resizes the MC to 30% of the stage. But if the stage has been set to have a very small width for example, the MC will effectively copy that aspect ratio and give it a very distorted look. [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I THINK I need the MC to resize according to ratio’s of the stage… NOT percentage. [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]So if the stage has resized to 4/20th it’s size, so must the MC.[/SIZE][/FONT]
