size to screen

[Dogger26 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi- I am trying to run a movie that will center on the screen and take over the full screen.
I added the following code:
on startMovie
(the stage).rect=the desktopRectlist[1]
end

This causes the movie to now play in the upper left corner- how do I get it back to center(have checked "center" in options)

Have you tried using an mpeg2 video instead of avi or mov? The DirectMedia
Xtra you use to import it into Director also has a function for playing
video at full screen, no matter what the resolution of the monitor is set
to.

You need to adjust (the stage).drawRect too.
