When converting from pool.fla to pool2.fla you changed the canvas

without changing the size and position of the contents.

This was not neccessary just put pool.swf in your pool2.htm

I would persoanally use 100% for height and width unless you are going

to use bitmaps. Overscan the background gradient and use black or a dark

green for your HTML BGCOLOR.


To resize the graphics to fit in new canvas:

1) Show All Layers

2) Edit Multiple Frames (In Onion Skin Menu)

4) Modify Onion Markers

5) Select Onion all

6) Edit > Select All

7) Modify > Transform > Scale and Rotate 

     Then enter percentage of change.

8) Wait (It could be a long time if your movie is large)

   Did I mention you should have made a backup before starting?

9) While everything is still selected center it.
