Hi David, try the srcipt below. Iam currently using it to resize the stage of a stub movie to the size of the screen - a kind of fake-full-screen if you will, as the stub displays a nice background image, in front of which the actual movie sits.
the lines you are probably most interested are: newRect = the deskTopRectList[1] (the stage).rect = newRect ==================================== global gOldStage, gMovie on startMovie -- resize BG gOldStage = the stage.Rect newRect = the deskTopRectList[1] (the stage).Rect = newRect (the stage).rect = newRect put newRect tLAcross = newRect[3]/2 - 416 tLDown = newRect[4]/2 - 312 tRAcross = newRect[3]/2 + 416 tRDown = newRect[4]/2 + 312 put tLAcross, tLDown, tRAcross, tRDown -- open movie gMovie = window "Front" set gMovie.rect to rect(tLAcross, tLDown, tRAcross, tRDown) set gMovie.titleVisible to FALSE open gMovie end startMovie on stopMovie -- close window gMovie.forget() -- resize stage back (the stage).Rect = gOldStage end stopMovie ================================================ ___________________________________________________ Meet other people who share your interests. http://www.homemaster.net - Homemaster.
