flash actionscript : Flash video scaling

I've made a flash movie which is 1024x768 px and in first frame i've placed
FScommand fullscreen & allowscale actions: so when resolution is 1024x768
movie is in its original size, but when resolution is higher/lower movie
stretches/shrinks.

On stage is MediaDisplay component which displays external Flash Video (flv)
in its original size (use prefered media size option) ... so when resolution
is 1024x768 it is displayed in original size because stage is also 1024x768.
But when resolution is higher/lower, flash video holder (mediaDisplay
component) stretches/shrinks along with stage. When it stretches/shrinks,
video quality is degraded: jiggy, warped and smudged picture with crispy
edges, something like "nearest kin interpolation".

Example: Quality of stretched/shrinked video is similar to the quality of
scaled image that doesn't have "allow smoothing" turned on - image is poor
quality, jiggy, crispy and smudged when it is not in its original size.

Is there a way to eliminate this, like "allow smoothing for video" :)

Thanks
Luka

Depending on what movieclips/graphics you are trying to preserve the dimensions
for in the Flash movie you might be able to achieve your goal by adjusting the
parameters in the publish settings in Flash (CTRL+Shift+F12, HTML tab).
