The big problem is that I'm taking into consideration varying aspect ratios of monitors these days. There's the standard 4 x 3 and the widescreen laptops, etc., etc.
I can get a formula working for one type of aspect ratio, but not seemingly for all. The last step I divide the screen width by height to get the height of the inner MC. It never works. Get bounds also doesn't seem to return good results if the drawrect of the director stage is manipulated. If it's a simple case of getting a shape of 400 pixels to be 1600 pixels, you need to get it 4 times bigger. It sounds like it's not that simple. You probably need to worry about any current scalings applied at the time. Does it help to do a getBounds(_root) on the inner shape - that should at least give you the width that the embedded Flash movie currently considers the clip to be. Then divide 1600 by that width value, and that'll give you the number of times you need to scale up the _root clip to get an inner clip that's 1600 pixels wide - as far as Flash is concerned. Then you'll need to worry about the scaling Director is applying to your movie - and it's been a couple of years since I've paid any attention to Director at all, I'm afraid. But I'd think all you need to do is compare the width of the embedded Flash object to its original published width, and apply that factor on top of any other scaling factors you've already applied... Sorry I can't be of more immediate help.
