hi. i am new to flash 5 but have read some tutorials. i want to create a movie of my stream of jpegs moving across the screen left to right, or right to left. an example of what i am trying to create is this:

i have cropped all my images to be the same height in photoshop. is there any easy way to animate it like this? is there a maximum size the pictures can be? my pictures don't look that large in internet explorer, but when i import them to flash, the pictures take up more space than the stage provides. the height is only 400 pixels, i didn't think it was that large. does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.

the default size of the stage is 550px (width) 400px (height).

You can change the stage size by clicking Ctrl-J ... or on the menu, Modify > Document...

(i dont know if it's the same in v5 though.)
