Hi there 
I'm coming from Unity, and I'm curious what the Starling workflow is for supporting multiple resolutions and aspect ratios for standalone desktop games. What work do I need to do to support, for example, a 1024x768 monitor and a 1280x800 monitor? Is it tricky to handle both windowed and fullscreen modes?
Sorry for the newbie questions

IMO this is not the Starling domain, but flash player/Adobe Air because you need use it to deploy app on browser, standalone or mobile. read about Event.RESIZE in flash, there is full tutorials.
If you need hiegher resultion of bitmaps there is simply way to use two sizes of atlas (@2), if you will use for e.g. TexturePacker you do it without problems.
Thanks cywil! I'm brand new to Flash/Air/Starling/ActionScript, so I'm still learning where to find the best information
This article helped me better understand Fullscreen in Air: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS2E9C7F3B-6A7C-4c5d-8ADD-5B23446FBEEB.html. It looks like Air doesn't have a way of allowing users to choose fullscreen resolution. I guess it just defaults to the native resolution of the monitor. But what happens to the stage when it goes fullscreen on a 4:3 monitor vs. a 16:9 monitor?
I'll keep Googling
Correct, you cannot change native resolution (or you can, by using native extension in AIR - e.g. C++ procces that can do system res change - but forget about it; )) but you can scale freely entire stage or just try stage.scaleMode = "EXACT_FIT" or "NO_SCALE", remember to about stage.align.
regards and goo(gle)d luck;)
