Hey all,

I have a fla with a textArea in it set to a certain size: 250x600px. It shows up that way in Flash 8. However, whenever I export it to a swf, the textArea is really small: about 20x20px. I’m starting to pull out my hair out of frustration now, why does this happen? Is there a setting I have accidently adjusted that would account for this behaviour?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
