Hi all,

Wanted an opinion, I am putting together a site where the background image i want to fill the entire screen. The menu system sits in the center of the page along with all the content, I want this to always stay at the correct size even if the background image has to resize… Can this be done all in one flash file? Or am I better of having the background as a seperate FLA?
