The trick for scale mode is to fix the size of the application. % width/height will usually not work. The entire visible portion of the app must show up in that size for scale mode to work.

Both work well, with some minor issues to get around: ScaleX and ScaleY: We have to set some metrics and listen for the resize event to keep things dynamic enough. Without setting starting metrics we don't really know what we should scale to when we resize. stage.scaleMode: There seems to be some funky behavior as to the application container itself. It's a bit difficult to get exact results. For example, setting the width and height of a canvas to 100% will scale the canvas and all containing children to the top left quarter of the canvas, depending on the aspect ratio of the browser or standalone Flash Player. Other issues seem to have to do with how Flex calculates the scaled ratios in relationship to the application container size. Nothing that we can't address with a bit of R&D, but as I said, it's a bit funky. Again, thanks to both of you!

You can set them at the creationComplete event of the Application, or anytime dynamically.

For example, creating a Flash SWF and changing the size of the movie will scale all content, including text and other elements. Looking for the same with a Flex application, I haven't been able to locate a property or method that allows me to do that. Question: Is Flex able to dynamically size content (including text) based on a global setting, or are we constraint to specifying the sizes of elements manually? Hope this makes sense, if not, I'll explain a bit more. Thanks, Jurgen
