[font=Arial][size=2] I can change the body width as often as I want, as soon as I publish the file it goes back to its old settings. Does anybody have any idea how to make the change stick? [/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font]  
[font=Arial][size=2][color=red]Different browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape have different margin widths. Because you want to maximize the animation and “_Take up every pixel of space available!_”, you don’t want the margins to interfere with what your visitors see. You want to remove the margins. To remove margins, delete the \<body\> tag and place the following line in its place:[/color][/size][/font]  
[center][font=Arial][size=2][color=blue]\<body topmargin=“0” leftmargin=“0”\>[/color][/size][/font]  
[/center]

Its an HTML issue. If you have dreamweaver, open the html file that flash produces, right click on the background of the page and fill in 0 for both margin width and height. The other ones to the right of margin are for macs so fill in a 0 in them too.
