I’ve used flash for a while, but I now want to ask a novice question. What is the best practice in developing an aplication’s dimensions. When i’m editing a project the whole work area is generally white making it difficult to observe boundaries. If I want to have a 320 x 240 project is there a best way for me to tell what is “in” the project and what is out of bounds?
