Description

I cloned this bug because although the below comment resolution was provided for mx:Application, the spark Application is suffering from a similar problem, but the changing the wrapper width and height to 100% while specifying a width and height for the Application does not resize correctly in IE 6. This is also using StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL or EXACT_FIT.

Reproduction:
1. Run the attached sample code.
2. Resize the height of the browser window (tested in IE 6 & Firefox 1.5.06)
3. Resize the widthof the browser window in IE or Firefox

Actual Results:

• When the height of the browser is changed, the red canvas resizes somewhat as expected (but sometimes too small)
• When the width of the browser is changed, the red canvas is often cropped

Expected Results:
stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.Show_ALL should work as documented
"the entire Flash application be visible in the specified area without distortion while maintaining the original aspect ratio of the
application." http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/201/langref/flash/display/StageScaleMode.html

StageScaleMode.Exact_Fit also doesn't work as documented.

Workaround: Somewhat of a workaround is using CSS and changing the font size based on the size of the browser window.
