Newbie Alert!

I am trying to edit a FLA file for a sliding timeline and the main background image with the details (years, images text) is 23960 px wide and I cannot scroll the main stage area all the way to the right to edit the contents. How can I do this please?

Thanks.

If Flash can't handle an image that big, it can't handle an image that big. You'll need to use Photoshop (or some other image processing software) to reduce the size of the image before importing it. Either just shrink it down or break it into pieces.
