The url you hit is usually an HTML page with an HTML tag in the BODY that determines the size and position of the Flash Player and thus the stage. Look at the .html file and see how it works. If you set your application's width/height to 100% then it browser window and stage should match.
See the doc on scaleMode and align defaults to understand how they behave. In a Flex app, you shouldn't need to do that since we call that for you.

I would think that my browser window IS the "stage". Why is this not true? What am I failing to understand and where can I read more to understand whats going on here. stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; thanks for your time! brad
