Example
The following code assigns an onResize() method to the ball_mc movie clip and registers
the clip to respond to the onResize() event. Note that
Stage.scaleMode must be set to
“noScale” in order for the onResize() event to be triggered:
Stage.align = "LT";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
ball_mc.onResize = function () {
// Place ball_mc in the center of the Stage (assumes that
// ball_mc's content is centered on its registration point).
// Inside the method, 'this' refers to ball_mc.
this._x = Stage.width/2;
this._y = Stage.height/2;
}
Stage.addListener(ball_mc);
