OK, don’t laugh, but I assigned in the properties of a movie clip the X to - 2000 and my work area is less than that. So now I can’t access that image any more :sigh:  
Any idea how to increase my work area (I mean the gray area that surrounds your stage).

cant increase the work area. you can try going to library (ctrl + L) then click on whatever image you lost in that -2000 x 🙂 good luck!

temporary fix is to make your stage size very big, then your grey area will also increase … then u canjust change it back when u got the MC…
