flash masters, i have 1 question

[Matt-Hershman]

ok, in the flash workspace, you know the gray area beyond the white area which is what show up in you movie? and then you cant draw beyond it. i just need to know how to make it bigger so i can draw more to something im in the middle of making right now. plz respond if you know.

up toolbar modify->document

change the dimentions to whatever.

[TITROTU]

In your timeline, where it says "12.0fps" double-click on it. It should open up the movie properties box. There just change the dimensions to any size you want!

if i reply to this im a flash master? w00t! lol, well as they said, just go to the properties (below the scene where u draw) and then where it say, 12 fps, a white color box, and there will be a box which says 550X400 pixels, click there and then change it

[Matt-Hershman]

thnx thats all i needed, now i can continue. thnx again to all

[Matt-Hershman]

wait, sorry, thats not what i was talking about. i like the white part the size it is now. i just need more room in the gray part because im drawing beyond the white part.

So you meant the movie dimensions as that's what all the replies are about...

I understood you to be asking about the boundaries that exist at the edge of the whole document: the boundaries outside of the movie dimension that go from -720 pixels to 1,267 pixels (horozontally).

If that's what you meant, I dont know if you can expand it, but you can have stuff beyond that boundary, by scrolling it over or whatever... What I would suggest you do is draw the full graphic you want at a very zoomed size and then expand it and place it how you would like, so you can tween it over or whatever you want to do with a superhuge graphic.

Well, I suppose you could just zoom out. :P

Yeah, heh, I wish I knew of a way to make it bigger myself, but that's the only solution I've come up with so far. Maybe someone who does know how will see the thread and help us both out! ^_^
