[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]Hi,

i am trying to scale a background image to the size of the browser window. heres my code. for some reason it does not fill the entire [color=red]stage[/color], any ideas?

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

background\_mc.\_width =Stage.width  
background\_mc.\_height =Stage.height

background\_mc.onResize = function() {  
background\_mc.\_width = Stage.width  
background\_mc.\_height = Stage.height

```
}

```

Stage.addListener(background\_mc);

cheers,
