You can check the Full Screen box, and select iPhone and iPad from the Device menu.

You have a choice about the stage size you use. Either have a size that is right for iPhone, and extra content above and below the stage, or have it right for iPad, and have extra content to the left and right.

These days I do that second option, because then the content works for Android devices as well. So, have a stage that is 1024x768, but include extra background graphics to the left and right of the edges of the stage. That content will then show up when you're on an iPhone, and the whole stage is scaled down to be the right size.

If you have plenty of extra background, like say 512 pixels on each side of the stage, that is enough to work for all of the current Android devices too.

Can you say what program you're developing the app in? If it's Flash Pro, then the General tab of the iOS settings lets you choose whether it is to be on iPhone, iPad, or both. You can also set the resolution to High, to support Retina display.

If you're using Flash Builder, the you would edit the app descriptor xml file. Look at the iPhoneAdditions, and uncomment the lines set what devices are used.
