    Is there any way in Flash MX to make the outline of the stage show through everything on the stage, or do I still have to keep adding another layer to the already cluttered timeline putting a box outline around the stage?

    Yes you do, why don't you use folders to clean it up?

    Yes, no one's debating the usefulness of folders. I just think it's ass backward that Macromedia didn't include a "Show Stage Border" option. It would be so freaking useful.

    Guides are still a good idea, but it's still an extra layer in the timeline...

    Go all the way to XP, the Home Edition is fine!

    I tried to run 2000 on my Pentium 3, it crashed after 1 minute. I loaded Flash, it crashed again.

    I went back to 98 SE.

    I've gone 33 days without rebooting, I only rebooted because I made some interesting system changes. With enough RAM, and TweakXP to free your memory every so often, you can last a LONG time. At worst, sometimes I needed to log off and back on, but that was it... (I'm using XP Pro)
