[FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]I am trying to make one that is 2400 pixels wide and 1400 pixels high so that it will become a background for a website, but it seems to show up about 200 - 300 pixels short. It shows up with white strips on the left and right edges of a single screen, but it should cover a double screen set to 1280 by 1024.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3]Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much![/SIZE][/FONT]

You’d probably be better off with 100% as opposed to 2400 pixels, eh?

This swf will be set in the back of an html page with a template of 800 px wide. This is a template page that I am just reskinning.

The file will have moving jpgs in it, will this distort the illustrations?
