hey thanks, if you get time to check it out that would be great.
here is a link of just the image and how i would like it to respond to browser resize, hopefully it will provide a little more insight to what i am trying to do. maybe :-)

www.symmetrixdesign.com/image

i just used the basic:

Stage.align = "MD";
Stage.scaleMode = "Scale";

but when it it gets called into my main movie it seems to conflict with my other code. anyway hope this helps a little.


also, just wondering if you might have any suggestions as far as where to start the learning process. i know need to start from the beginning as far as educating myself in the art of AS, but with the release of AS3 should i start with learning AS or AS2? also any good books you might recommend for the designer trying to turn coder. thanks so much
