Probably you refer incorrectly to the video and navigation movieclips.
By using "this" you refer to variables/properties of the listener

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work either!
Any thoughts on what the setting for scaling should be under Publish

Cynthia,
If "video" is an instance of the flv player component,
you should use this code instead:
stageL.onResize = function(){
video.setSize( Stage.width, Stage.height );
}
Using _width and _height in this case can cause distortion.
If you use the setSize method, the component will handle

I think you have a misconception about MTASC. It isn't a replacement
for Flash (unless you're a G like Ben Jackson), it's a 3rd party

When Flash compiles, it recompresses all the media (graphics, sound,
components) as it compiles. All MTASC does is injects code into the
swf.
If the application is running locally, are the XML files still pulled from
