If you use the standard scaling settings Showall (default and 100% for

height and width objects drawn off stage may be seen.


If the aspect ratio of the movie (width/height) is exatly the same as

the browser window then no off stage items will appear.


Otherwise, objects sitting outside the stage on one or two sides may

appear.


When using showall a movie is expanded to fill the window left to right

(or top to bottom) without changing the proportions of the movie or

cropping any of the movie. Unless the aspect ratio of the movie matches

the window exactly there will be a border at the top and bottom (or

right and left) which is filled with Flash. So the canvas displayed is

expanded from the stage in Flash and objects off stage on some sides may

appear.


A parameter SAlign sets the side or corner where the Flash movie's side

or corner begins and no objects outside of the stage on that side(s)

will appear. If SAlign is set then the sides where off stage objects can

appear can be either two or one depending on the aspect ratio fit and

the setting of SAlign.
