Firstly, i’m a complete newbie to flash and i’ve only been using it for 2 weeks.

My problem is that i have made a movie, but it is just a small rectangle in size. Whenever i play it, it also shows the blank area around it.

How do i fix this?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks  
-Rogue

yes it does when you go to control-\> test movie!  
But it actually doesn’t  
Open up “my Computer” or windows explorer or something and browse to you .swf file and open it. Now it doesn’t show the outside unless you drag the borders.
