Re: resizing stage

It's cheap, it's cheesy, but I would recommend setting the
screen 
resolution using Buddy API. The appearance -- and
performance -- of the 
game will be MUCH better than if you use the drawrect to
scale the 
stage. Lots of games work this way.

baSetDisplay or baSetDisplayEx are the BuddyAPI functions
that allow 
this kind of switching,
htt
p://www.directorforum.de/showthread.php?t=1292 and other
places have 
info, and keep in mind that you'll want to restore the
user's previous 
screen resolution on quit.

cheers,
jamie
