//define a var for sh and sw   
//let us add 2 px each as flash eats them   
//in the Stage Object from the actual flash dimension   
var sh = Stage.height + 4;   
var sw = Stage.width + 4;   
var rp = 0;//let us have a start point   
trace("stage height = " + sh + " & stage width = " + sw + " in pixels");   
setBG = function (col) {   
 with (_level0) {   
  clear();   
  if (col != undefined) {   
   beginFill(col);   
   moveTo(rp, rp);   
   lineTo(sw, rp);   
   lineTo(sw, sh);   
   lineTo(rp, sh);   
   endFill();   
  }   
 }   
 this.__bg__ = col;   
};   
//   
getBG = function () {   
 return this.__bg__;   
};   
//   
Stage.addProperty("bgColor", getBG, setBG);   
delete setBG;   
delete getBG;   
//Usage   
Stage.bgColor = 0x0000ff;

one more question now were at it, I am starting with a white background that turns darkblue at scene 2. would it be possible to gradually fade it from white to blue instead of having it switch instantly over 25 frames time for instance?

AHa great, Thanks!
What we tried was this;
var sh = Stage.height + 3000;
var sw = Stage.width + 3000;
var rp = -1200;//let us have a start point

cheers,

David

David, just replace the initials variables that defines initial position, stage height and stage width to be full screen, in short, use this instead
moveTo(-2880, -2880);
lineTo(-2880, 2880);
lineTo(2880, 2880);
lineTo(2880, -2880);
lineTo(-2880, -2880);
