symbol editor size limitations??

[grayhalo]

This is probably a silly question but I'm still (for the most part) a n00b to the Flash authoring environment. I have a large 2500 px wide image in a movie clip and I've found that I can't edit the entire thing in the symbol editor. It truncates the right hand side of it and I just can't scroll any further to the right. Is this a known limitation of the symbol editor or just something silly that I'm doing?

I guess it's not a huge deal because I'll be adding different movie clip instances into that movie clip programmatically anyway, but it's just annoying... Any ideas?

Think this is the stupidest question I've ever posted to a public forum. Hehe.

Howdy and Welcome... :)

I don't really recall the exact number, but yes, that problem you are experiencing has to do with the Flash's own limitation... So, you will basically need to seperate the long image to pieces and use them instead of a whole one...

Thanks, that's a very good suggestion. Although the image is a bitmap not a vector.. but I guess it still won't matter for that purpose, really.
