When you test your movie, it shows the movie at the width and height it is supposed to be at.

Everything else they show is just extra space that won’t be seen when you publish your file.

If you right click on your movie and choose “Show All” instead of “100%”, it will scale your movie to be bigger than it actually is, and then it will fit the screen.

I prefer 100%, because it gives you the real size of your movie, which allows you to make everything fit better.

when in the movie viewer, do View|Bandwith Profiler. that comes in handy, tells you really if you need a preload or not.
