Big Sizing Problem, challenge to all flashers

[schneidslide]

Here is the problem.

When I go into "Publish Settings" then to the "HTML" tag and change the "Dimensions" box to "Percent". Then change the Width and Height to 100 percent. Problems happen.

What this should do is make my stage how ever big the user's browser is. This works fine. The problems happens when one of my MC goes off the stage. The MC still appears.

When I have the "Dimensions" set to "Pixels" and the Width and Height set to 720x720 my MC don't appear when they go off the stage.

Does anyone know why this happens and a way to fix it or is this an error in Flash MX?

Thanks!

Are you really, really sure you don't look at the swf-file alone? Because when it's inside an HTML-file, you can't see what's off stage.
But, there's a very good and simple solution to your problem, no matter what causes it:
create a rectangular movie clip (mc), the same size as your stage.
If you have many unmasked layers, you can use this mc as a mask for almost all the layers in your file. Masked layers are already masked, so below them you need to copy your mask frame (it's a static one), and paste it, and turn the layer into a masked layer again.
