With the width and height assigned to variables, all that remains is to pass the values to the text field to display them on screen:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xres = System.capabilities.screenResolutionX;
yres = System.capabilities.screenResolutionY;
_root.resdisplay.text = "Your screen resolution is:\n" + xres + " x " yres;
}
Try it out to see if it displays your resolution.
