Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to flash so apologies if this is really simple!

I have made a little flash boxing game, which when you press different keyboard buttons produces different punches.

The game is working fine, but I am trying to add some new bits, which I am finding hard to position properly as all my movie clips have different stage sizes to my main time line (Scene 1)!

When I look under the properties tab it says - Size: 550 x 400 px, and this doesn’t change when I open up one of the movies, however, the stage is clearly a lot bigger in the movies. It also doesn’t react in the same way, if I zoom out, it remains positioned tightly to the top/left corner, where as in the main time line(scene 1) when I zoom out, I can scroll around any of the corners.

Does that description make any sense?! Any help would be much appreciated.
