Question

I have objects placed on the screen using x/y coordinates. I want a way to update that based on changes in Screen Width/Height. So if used re-sized browser window x/y should change. How do I cick off a function every time the screen is re-sized.

You can do that by attaching an ResizeEvent listener to whatever object you want to track:

public class Main extends Sprite {
    public function Main (  ) {

      stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeListener);
    }

    private function resizeListener (e:Event):void {
      trace("The application window changed size!");
      trace("New width:  " + stage.stageWidth);
      trace("New height: " + stage.stageHeight);
    }
  }
