I’m in the process of fixing a site and I’m running into trouble with a shape. This shape acts as a background that scrolls. When I want to make the shape bigger than 2880 W, I get an error stating “Invalid size and position.”

Is 2880 the maximum width you can make a shape in flash. I thought I’d made one bigger…

Thanks in advance for the help.
