this may seem a weird question, but… you know that stupid BIG grey part of the screen where the components, color, help menu etc. is…?
here, so you see what i mean, that big fat grey area on the right:
I managed to get rid of that pretty useless area a while ago, but now yesterday i pressed some button and it reappeared…
and i don’t know how to get rid of it again! ô\_O""
does anybody know that? ^^""
i have tried everything i could think of, but it stays where it is, i can’t even change its size… T\_\_\_T
it’s horrible to work with that thing on the screen \>\<
…also, the little button where i can change from normal to expert mode on the actions has disappeared, and now i’m stuck with the expert mode and can’t activate the normal mode again… -\_\_\_\_-
flash may be useful, but it has a terrible interface… \>\_\_\_\_\<

its actually yor window’s layout, you know people on mac have a really cool flash interference that is blue kinda well thats what i saw one time. I think you have to change your windows layout, you have windows xp or what

Noooo, you guys should be verry happy with the windows layout of flash! :upset:
Flash on a mac is like AARRrrghhh! … I always click on the desktop… grr
Thats becouse you dont have a fullscreen interface, only floating menus… :cantlook:

yes, i have windows xp, but i don’t know why i managed before to remove that crap and now i can’t anymore ôO
and i’m not complaining about the windows interface, i’ve used flash on our school macs and it’s really horrible XD~
let’s just say, flash is not too user-friendly neither on mac nor on windows ^^"
i want to remove that bar again! \>0\< how on earth did i do it before? ô\_\_\_\_O"""

Is there not a little arrow in the middle of the border you can press to hide the panels? if the arrow is not there just press **F4** to hide them.

yes, i just managed to hide thos stupid panels, someone told me in another forum 😃
it’s as easy as i imagined it to be… ^^""
so for anyone interested, it’s just right-clicking the name of each panel and closing them one by one, when you closed all of them, the grey panel will disappear ^^
