[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]I’m currently working on a project with custom cursors within an application which scales proportionately to fit the browser window.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]The custom cursors also scale and the result is less then pleasing. [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]I’ve written a function which returns the stages scaling amount but when I use that number to rescale the custom cursors in the opposite direction by subtracting the stages scaling amount say 1.5 by 2 it doesn’t seem to work properly. While the cursors do resize in the right direction they seem to be off.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Is there another factor I am missing?[/FONT][/COLOR]

```auto

public static function getStageScaleAmount(stage:Stage):Number {
   var origStageWidth=750;
   var origStageHeight=420;
   var origAspectRatio=origStageWidth/origStageHeight;
   //need to determin which side it is scaled by
   var resizedStageWidth=stage.stageWidth;
   var resizedStageHeight=stage.stageHeight;
   var resizedAspectRatio=resizedStageWidth/resizedStageHeight;
   //
   var scaleAmount;
   //
   if (resizedAspectRatio<origAspectRatio) {
    //scaled to width
    scaleAmount=resizedStageWidth/origStageWidth;
   } else {
    scaleAmount=resizedStageHeight/origStageHeight;
   }
   if (isNaN(scaleAmount)) {
    scaleAmount=1;
   }
   return scaleAmount;
  }

```
