I REALLY do not recommend it!

Q: why?

A: My computer (2x 1600X1200 on W2000) sez:
-- Welcome to Director --
put the desktopRectList
-- [rect(0, 0, 3200, 1200)]

using your method with this desktoprectlist would give you
a# extreme distortion (not 4:3 aspect ratio, but 8:3)
b# a screen buffer of a whopping 15 megabytes (3200*1200*4bytes) to clog up
your app...
c# the scaling method used by director equals the "nearest neighbor" method
in Pshop, meaning bad scaling results...

So Fulton, If you have been using that method please reconsider.

Sincerely,
Pekka Buttler
