Dual Monitor Problem

[Al N.]

I recently upgraded my system to a dual monitor setup. With Adobe products,
palettes can be dragged outside of the main program window. In director, I
can't do this, and since the second monitor is a lower resolution than the
main monitor, the docked palettes get cut off either on the top or bottom,
depending on how I've oriented the monitor.

Does anyone know of a solution? Is there a way to put palettes outside the
main program window, or do I have to extend the program window to the second
monitor and make due with having some stuff cut off?

Win XP Pro, Radeon 7000 card, Director MX 2004.

Thanks.

Hi

I also got two monitors. The way i use it is as follow: just drag your main
window/ stage window all over your two monitors. Now you can put your palletes
on your second monitor.

Hope this helps

I also use two monitors in WinXP with MX 2004. The latter solution is
correct (dragging program window across both screens). I actually prefer
this system as the Adobe program windows tend to get misaligned if one uses
multiple desktops (as I do). Director windows remain fixed in place.

I see what you're saying. I prefer the Adobe solution as my monitors have
different resolutions.
The ability to save panel sets eases the pain quite a bit.
thanks.
