I want to achieve the effect that can be seen in [http://www.thefwa.com](http://www.thefwa.com/). where no matter what the screen size is, the bottom disclaimer information will always be at the bottom.

I currently tried this, but it will scale to a certain amount then it disappears. I want to be able to position different movieclips at the bottom of the screen and they will also always scale. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

var myListener:Object = new Object();  
myListener.onResize = function() {  
updateLocations();  
};  
Stage.addListener(myListener);  
updateLocations = function () {  
// Values of the initial .swf width and height  
initialWidth = 950;  
initialHeight = 600;  
// Get the current stage width and height  
currentWidth = Stage.width;  
currentHeight = Stage.height;  
// Position copyRight information  
copyRight.\_x = Math.round(initialWidth+((currentWidth-initialWidth)/2)-copyRight.\_width);  
copyRight.\_y = Math.round(initialHeight+((currentHeight-initialHeight)/2)-copyRight.\_height);  
};  
updateLocations();
