Flash mx problem with exported menu

[font=Arial]Basically i am creating a startup menu/introduction menu for a piece at college. I am having a problem with the menu when it is exported or previewed using ctrl enter, when it is opened the framing of the menu does not sit tightly around the image and there are large white bars eiether side of the image. The display area in flash has been set to 1114x1000 (the size of the image) if that is any help. When re sizing the menu (by dragging the corners) it does not scale the menu at all. This is my problem, apologies if it is a very simple question to answer but i cannot figure out what i have done wrong.[/font]
