i just started using flash... well, yesterday, though after i read most of a
manual (flash cs3 pro bible) and for the most part things were going well so
far except for a few snags. one in particular has been giving me grief. when i
first started this project and i went to set the stage size, (before i read the
manual) i was looking at it and knew that it was the 'viewfinder' of the scene,
however i was unfamiliar with pixel measurements and i thought, 'wow, thats
tiny. it needs to be a lot bigger than that!' sooo what i did was increase the
stage size to 1500 x1500 px, forgot about it and did most of my work so far in
that format. well, i went to testplay it and lo and behold, the screen took up
my whole monitor and the image within was zoomed so close i couldnt make
anything out. i checked the px settings for my computer and decided to half it,
but obviously, i was able to change the stage size but not the size of the
files. i tried to figure out a way to resize them all at once, but im not ready
for actionscript. i ended up just going through all my items in the transform
tab and scaling each of them to 50% and then rearranging them manually on the
stage. nevertheless, i went to testplay it once again at 750x750 and the
display screen shrunk to the new size, but the scene inside is still zoomed in
way too far. even if the display screen was the default size it looks like the
image would still be zoomed on the center and cropped (the image was the same
size, only the window size changed.) i only have one scene so far, though its
rather complex. i like the artwork i did for it and i dont want to have to
redraw the whole thing. if any of you could me out it would really make my
day. thanx
