RESIZING DIRECTOR MOVIE ON OUTPUT - URGENT!!!!!!

You can use lingo to resize the stage, and the drawrect of the stage, which are both subtley different things.

Here's a handler which I often use to maximise a projector, while preserving the ratio of the movie (if it's different to the screen res ratio):

Choose whether you want preserveProportions to be 1 or 0.

--------------------------------------
-- stage resize handler
-- robotduck.com 2006

on resizeToScreen

preserveProportions = 1

myW = the stage.rect.width
myH = the stage.rect.height

myRatio = float(myW)/myH

screenRect = the desktoprectlist[1]
sw = screenRect.width
sh = screenRect.height

screenRatio = float(sw)/sh

(the stage).rect = rect(0,0,sw,sh)

if preserveProportions then

if myRatio<=screenRatio then
-- stage is proportionally narrower than screen - maximise height
drawH = h
drawW = integer(myW * (h/float(myH)))

else
-- stage is proportionally narrower than screen - maximise width
drawH = integer(myH * (w/float(myW)))
drawW = W
end if

drawLeft = (w/2)-(drawW/2.0)
drawRight = (w/2)+(drawW/2.0)
drawTop = (h/2)-(drawH/2.0)
drawBottom = (h/2)+(drawH/2.0)

(the stage).drawrect = rect(drawLeft,drawTop,drawRight,drawBottom)

else
-- expand without preserving movie proportions (simple stretch-to-fill)
(the stage).drawrect = rect(0,0,w,h)

end if

end
