I have a really strange problem that is ruining my movie. I have set the size of the stage to 450px by 400px in the properties dialog. In my actionscript, I’ve got all kinds of things that rely on Stage.width. So, I developed everything in MX2004 on Mac, and everything worked swimmingly. So, I opened up the exact same file in MX2004 and everything is placed wrong on the stage. So when I did a trace of Stage.width, I got 940px, and a trace of Stage.height gave me a figure of 763 pixels. If I do the same traces on the Mac, I get what I expect, 450px for width and 400px for height. Does anybody have any ideas as to what might cause this kind of discrepancy?

Thanks,  
John
