Setting the scaleMode (?) property on the SWF may be the best option,
but here's another technique to do it if you want to experiment:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
  xmlns="*" width="100%" height="100%" resize="sizeChanged = true">
  <mx:Script>
    private var sizeChanged:Boolean = true;
    public function layoutChildren():Void
    {
      super.layoutChildren();

      if (sizeChanged)
      {
        var vm:Object = getViewMetricsAndMargins();
        var w:Number = layoutWidth - vm.left - vm.right;
        var h:Number = layoutHeight - vm.top - vm.bottom;

        mainBox.scaleX = w / mainBox.layoutWidth * 100;
        mainBox.scaleY = h / mainBox.layoutHeight * 100;

        sizeChanged = false;
      }
    }
  </mx:Script>
  <mx:Box id="mainBox">
    <mx:HBox>
      <mx:Label text="Name" />
      <mx:TextInput id="debug" />
    </mx:HBox>
    <mx:List dataProvider="{['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday',
'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday']}" />
  </mx:Box>
</mx:Application>

Note:

 1.  put your whole app into a Box and call it mainBox
 2.  in layoutChildren() you set the scaleX and scaleY properties of
the application
 3.  update the sizeChanged flag in the resize event handler
