hello! This sounds like the easiest task ever, but I am having trouble enlarging the pasteboard in Flash 8. Everywhere I go it just says to: “drag an object close to the edge and the pasteboard will automatically grow to fit”. Sounds easy enough, but it doesn’t work for me. Oddly enough, it works if I drag it to the bottom of the pasteboard, but my large image is horizontal, so I need the pasteboard to enlarge on the sides. Anyway know another way of doing this, or have had a similar issue that they’ve solved?

Thanks!
