I am trying to make a little flipbook, but I havr the following problem

Each page I want to make has to be a more or less perfect rectangle.
Whenever I curve the pages or distort them, FLASH merely distorts the picture
inside a white box. The actual page stays rectangular. Is it even possible to
make pages of different shapes? Like a square page, then a triangular page,
etc?

Appreciate it,

Hey I mean the pages of the flipbook I'm making. I'm making a book that lets
users flip through the pages. Each page of the book is a jpeg or other image
file that I animate with Flash CS3. I wish I could post images on this forum
but I don't know how.

I think you might be refering to the 'Stage'? the background 'white box'?
This doesn't change once you set the size. If you want to make 'pages' that
'appear' to look like different shapes, make the background color th same as
your HTML page. Also if you publish the file as a 'windowless transparent'
file, the background is not rendered. You need to make the images of your
'pages' into movie clips and then manipulate them, to make them appear as
though they are 'flipping'.
