It's cheap, it's cheesy, but I would recommend setting the screen
resolution using Buddy API. The appearance -- and performance -- of the
game will be MUCH better than if you use the drawrect to scale the
stage. Lots of games work this way.
baSetDisplay or baSetDisplayEx are the BuddyAPI functions that allow
this kind of switching,
http://www.directorforum.de/showthread.php?t=1292 and other places have
info, and keep in mind that you'll want to restore the user's previous
screen resolution on quit.
cheers,

Hi,
I am looking into resizing my stage to the width of the current
monitor resolution (with the height being scaled accordingly to keep
the aspect ration constant).
What I am finding is that Director does not do this very gracefully
(hey here's something Flash does sort of, ... better...) and some of
my castmembers on stage do look very pixelated (especially text
members).
Is there anything that can be done - apart from scaling the font size
up and down according to the resolution (which I have done before for
a project, but it's been years, and a pain back then...)
Thanks,
