Hi there  
I tried to make a site fullscreen (like this one: [http://www.lime.ee/](http://www.lime.ee/)) by putting this piece of code on frame 1:

fscommand(“fullscreen”, “true”);

However, when I tested the movie, I got the fullscreen effect but the background I created (by drawing a filled square) doesn’t really extend to the edges of my monitor but rather only to the size of the square itself… How do I extend backggrounds and tuck a “close” button right to the edge of of the monitor? Do I have to make my stage bigger?

Thanks
