Some browsers don't offer Firefox's convenient ability to set the browser's window size to standard dimensions for the purpose of testing how your web site looks at different screen resolutions. So rather than change my screen resolution, I use a background image with standard screen dimensions on it, then just resize my browser to the marked location.
Click on the image below if you want to download the full-sized version.

That is a great idea!
Do you have an example that you could share?

@Steve: Sorry, I should have mentioned that you can click on the image in the posting to download a full-size version. Let me know if you want me to make the Photoshop file available, too.

No problem. I should have been able to figure that out, had I been thinking.
Thanks!

HI TOM,
IS THERE A WAY TO RESIZE AN IMAGE IN FLASH TO THE EXACT SIZE
OF A WINDOW BROWSER SUCH AS SAFARI OR WINDOWS EXPLORER?
