[flash cs3 or 8?] Here is my script its a navigation. I want my midpoint larger so that the navigation will hold still as I roll over the three middle pics. instead of one measly little x point. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. (ps I am not talking about the hit state I am trying to figure out I think the midpoint.)  
Thanks Charmed!
