Greetings folks (and happy halloween!),

I’m using an update function to fill the browser window with this flash site: [http://www.seze.net](http://www.seze.net)

like so:

myListener = new Object();  
myListener.onResize = function(){  
update();  
}  
Stage.addListener(myListener);

Works great. my question is, how could I limit the size of the Stage? the Stage.width and .height properties are read-only. What I want to do is make it so that the stage will not be shortened past a certain point, so that the browser will display a scroll bar instead of just cutting off the bottom of the site. See what I mean?

Anybody got any ideas? Thanks in advance!
