...this sounds like turning stage scaling on.
For a test, try this in your main app:
Stage.scaleMode = "showAll".
I believe Flex has it set to "noScale", and thus
uses the Flex containers to draw the change in size rather than have the SWF
scale. Try that, see if it works for you.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole

Actually, I am working down a path that uses a canvas and
dynamically adjusts the ScaleX and ScaleY properties based on the size of the
application in the browser using the applications onResize event. So far,
the effect is exactly what I'm looking for. Even the fonts are getting
scaled correctly. It works okay with non-embeded fonts but I've found it
works perfectly with embeded fonts. My only concern now is how well it
will perform once the UI gets a bit more complicated.
If anyone else is
interested, I can post my solution once I get it a little more
perfected.

One interesting adventure you can embark on is to
put the whole application in a mx:Canvas and use mx:Zoom to scale it based on
the resolution. I have never tried this before, so can't tell. I have doubts
about the font-size etc :-)

Setting to those just takes up the space, it doesn't
actually scale the content larger. It resizes the layout managers
larger which results in a lot of unused white space for my
application. I need the contents to scale so if you make the window
twice as large, then all of the contents are twice as big. Bigger
fonts, bigger everything. I'm not sure how I can clarify this any
further... :(

Make the width and height of your application

usage. Decreasing margins on things helps a lot too.

Subject: [flexcoders] Scale the size of a whole

This may sound like a odd request, but is there a way to
scale the size of a whole application so that all of the contents get
larger? The functionality that I desire is similar to what happens
to a Flash movie when you make its size bigger. I'd like to design
an application at a fixed resolution like 800x600. If the user then
makes the web browser bigger, I'd like the contents to scale up in
size. Right now, with the layout managers I basically just end up
with more space. A lot of it is wasted empty space. I have a
specific user that is mildly vision impaired. He makes everything on
his screen gigantic. His monitor is a nice 21" flat panel at
1600x1200 resolution. I'd like him to be able to maximize the
application to 1600x1200 there by making everything in the application
which is designed at 800x600 scale up to that size.
Anyone have any
suggestions? I was a little long winded there, but I hope I've
accurately described my problem and the type of solution I'm looking
for. Any other suggestions on how I can deal with visibility
impaired users would also be helpful. Thank you!
