ok this is driving my nuts and I cant seem to figure it out.

I have a number of pages which have different background pictures on them. On
top of these background photos are text boxes with semi-transparent boxes
between the text and the background photo in order to make the text readable.
The problem im having is that the the text resizing when I test the movie,
which means it no longer fits the semi-transparent boxes behind them. I figured
i could account for this and just make the boxes bigger. I then uploaded the
website and had my friend look at it who said the text boxes still overflowed
the semi-transparent boxes which means that the text boxes are being displayed
bigger on his computer then mine, because when i look at the uploaded page they
fit the boxes perfectly. I assuming this means that the text will size
differently on all computers which throws a real wrench in my website. Any
ideas how I get around this or at least predict/understand it. Thanks

.... ok I was just about to post this but I figured it out but i will post
it for those who are having the same problem. While talking to my friend one
the phone I realized that he is viewing the web page with a wide screen
monitor, and flash is politely trying to resizes the page to fit his screen,
the problem is that not everything is being re-sized the same. I should also
mention that he thought my picture quality was really low at first, but as it
turns out it is because they are being blown up by flash along with the rest of
the page, which of course means that they looked like crap. These sort of
problems defeat the purpose of flash - ie to impress - so be sure to avoid
them.

I solved the problem with one line of code placed on the main stage:

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE

ya programing...curs those zeros
