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!
can’t… cranky!!!
anyway, no problemo, I just clicked on the frame and patiently waited for the movie clip to arrive pressin the proper keyboard directional button 
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…
yeah i know. never mind it’s not that important… thnx for writing though
