I’m working with some .jpg image files that are grouped together. The total size of the grouped image is 1800 width x 220 height. The thing is…I can’t see the totality of the images on the scene area. My .fla movie dimensions are 300 w x380 h, and the images scroll inside this area! Anyone able to help me out!! ---

if you don’t want to scroll it but just want to see whole of it… adjust your movie size as your image size thus, image size = 1800x220 movie size = 1800x220 or just press ctrl+j and press the “content” button… and that’s it! flash will do it for you! lol 😉 ---

I just checked your .fla file… your problem does have to do with the Flash limit of Viewable/Drawable area. Just to save your having to look through that link… > drawing extents within: > -width: -720 to document width + 720 > -height: -720 to document height + 720 ---

what i would do if i were him, and i did once it worked, i just save the image as an MC and reduce it by 50 - 75 % keeping in mind how things would work for real size… ---

Hey noxius thanks for the tip! It really works. After turning the images into a movie clip the problem of the missing image has disappeared. Lostinbeta!! can you tell me wow can I change the viewable/ drawable area properties, the problem of not seeing all the work in the scene is still giving me a headache Thanks again for the help guys!! ---

““And how will that fix the problem? Considering the problem is with the Flash Limits on document size and not on symbols”” You have a point there lostinbeta! That problem remains! ---

ricjg: You can’t edit the properties of the viewable/drawable area, thats why its called a Flash Limit… because its only limited to what I stated before (which was previously stated by senocular). So you will pretty much just have to cope with the situation :-\ ☹ ---

i dont really dont know, lostinbeta. but it works! right ricjg? …ive just learned about this viewable/drawable area thing… thanks… now, im a bit curious… why is that so? even the problem on viewable/drawable area remains, but converting that pix as symbols seems to “resolve” the problem(?)… i guess there’s an explanation on this… ---

Thanks a lot for your fla file noxious! That’s a very cool effect and similar to that one I’m looking for, maybe if I do what u told about the mask an perhaps changing some parameters in the AS it will fit on what I’m trying to create! And the search will continue…I’m getting closer ;), will let you know if there are some news!! Thanks again! By the way! I found this website with similar efect! It looks great also! Do you have any info on how they did this! [http://www.toca-me.com/website/files/index.html](http://www.toca-me.com/website/files/index.html) [www.toca-me.com](http://www.toca-me.com) ---
