How to remove the extra graphics

[micks80]

Hi,
I bought the RSS reader and read Adrian's thread and got it working in 5 minutes,and I am new to flash as well!!!! I just have one question - is it possible to display just the RSS news box and not the description on the right??? I see, I can remove the title, description,version tags but there's lot's of other text below it as well e.g "Move Mouse over scroll....."

I would really appreciate if you can provide some help to remove them, I am just interested to show the RSS news reader box ....

Thanks

You should unlock all the layers and remove any unnecessary symbols (select and delete). Then you could resize the stage only to fit the news area. Please consult the flash documentation on how to use the interface.

Thanks Adrian,
I was able to remove the text using your suggestion but I am not able to resize the news area. I was able to right click and go to "document properties" and decrease the gray frame but I am also trying to reduce the height and width of the yellow box but I cannot find how to do so.. can you please help?

What yellow box ? Are you sure you are talking about the RSS feed news reader ?

Yes, I am using the RSS feader. Anyways, I think I managed to get it resolved a little bit but there's a big black box that shows up on the bottom which does not looks too good. Click our site link below to see what i mean:

The best way this should be done is that it should always expand the first news by default. I have see lot's of other users asking for this same request, see here:

Open by default

First RSS feed to display, the others collapsed?

But so far, you said you got no time. I think this is a very important feature as so many users are requesting it and you should think about providing this as a patch.

I've created some shots that might help you with the resize/remove of the extra graphics.

1. select these layers and delete them





2. Unlock the List layer and select the box




3. Set x and y to 0. Also set the desired width and height



4. Set the width and height of the stage equal to the width and height of the box






Republish the swf. Use the same dimensions in the embed code.

I will think about adding those features, but at the moment there is no time.
