Air iOS app iPhone5 dimensions letterbox

Question

I have an app designed and built for iPhone4 however the same app also works on iPhone5 however with the top/bottom letterbox effect. The headers and footers of the app are black (very dark blue actually) but the empty letterbox space is white so I was wondering if there is a way to make the top/bottom black so it is not that noticeable?

I don't really feel like modifying the app layout to suit the dimensions of the iPhone5 if there is a way to make them black.

Thanks

You set the stage (background) color with stage.color, see if that solves your problem.
