Is it possible to have a single jpg (1024x768) scale up & down with the browser window (no matter the aspect ratio, stretched to 100% browser width/height), while keeping the foreground content (most likely added via loadMovie) in a fixed scale and centered on the screen?

An example can be seen on the Second Story home page ([http://secondstory.com/](http://secondstory.com/)). I have a feeling I’m missing something very simple.

Thanks!
