Resize window programmatically during run-time/start-up

Is it possible to resize the window? I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything of use.

FlxG.resizeGame(); only resizes the stage within the window.

I don't want to necessarily go fullscreen.

I don't even really need to resize the window whilst the game is running, only set the resolution of the window on start-up.

I know that you can set the windows size in the XML file, this is not what I want to do.

I tried calling Lib.application.window.resize(); but it just throws an error no matter where I use it (and all related Lib classes like openfl, flash, openfl._legacy, etc).

If there is really know way to do this then I would be utterly shocked. It's like, the most basic of engine features and it's missing?!

FlxG.stage.resize(width, height); should do this on native OpenFL legacy builds.

Why was this information so hard to find?!

I don't understand why FlxG.resizeGame() doesn't do this?!

Well, it has a different functionality - it's resizeGame(), not resizeWindow(). You might want to have a game that only occupies part of the surrounding window.

Even so, the stage != the window. That's why the stage has a scale mode, the stage scales to... the window.

I guess. Stage#resize() is OpenFL API though.

This improves the situation a bit. :)
