flash (macromedia) : Stage Troubles

Flash is a dynamic medium - it renders on the fly - when you export/publish, it doesnt crop like a
video format would. Objects off the stage are "active" and present during runtime. Always publish
the HTML file with the SWF - then upload both to same directory and point browser to the html - the
width and height attributes will detirtmine the viewable area.

I'm learning Flash Mx 2004. In the movie preview (crt-enter), objects outside
of the stage are visible. Why? I thought only objects in the stage are supposed
to be visible. The stage is the white box in the middle of the main viewer
thing. I'm just barely learning! Sorry for dumb question!

So what you are saying is, the previewer doesn't show the flash as it really
is? What if I'm not putting it on a web site? I'm doing this as homework. I am
just going to play it on the flash player, or windows media player. Will it
still work properly?

yes (try it by double clicking the swf). when you have flash installed (the authoring tool) it comes
with the stand-alone player (everyone else just has the web plugin). You can also publish it as a
Projector file (EXE) that has the player wrapped in it - this is not for the web of course but for
offline viewing - it can be played on any machine without flash - just double click it.
