Background "exact fit" while parent contents "noscale"

I want to use a background that scales to "exact fit" but then I have a text block centered on the screen that I do not want to scale at all, akin to the HTML embed property "noscale".  The end result should be a background that behaves as if it was given the parameter "exactfit" while the primary contents never scale.

Help please!

you can set the width and height to the stage properties with:
img_mc._height = Stage.height;
img_mc._width = Stage.width;

Thanks for the help pietertje1983, but that doesn't seem to be it.  That or I misunderstood.

This is some non-working actionscript that may better illustrate what I am trying to do:

// LOAD BACKGROUND
var container = createEmptyMovieClip("background", 0);
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
};
var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mc1.scaleMode = "exactfit";
mc1.loadClip("background.swf", container);

// LOAD TEXTBLOCK
var container = createEmptyMovieClip("textblock", 1);
var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
};
var mc2:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mc2.scaleMode = "showall";
mc2.loadClip("textblock.swf", container);

**THE ABOVE DOES NOT WORK

Help greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!!

Thanks for your help Montoya.  Stacking SWFs just might give me the effect I desire.  I assume I would have to wmode/transparent the textblock content and display it above my background image?  HTML/DHTML for stacking SWFs would be very helpful.  Thanks again.
