Trimming Whitespace

[Sean Levesley]

I have a movie that imports an avi file into a cast member through script.
The avi file has lots of whitespace around it.
Unfortunately, when running the movie the avi is trimmed to remove the
whitespace and the avi is then expanded to fit the original cast member
space. What I would like it to do is just swap the avi in and not trim the
whitespace or resize.
Any clues?
Thanks
Sean

Try changing the ink of the avi sprite to background transparent or matt..
i think only background transparent works with video media

Thanks, but neither of these worked. I got round the problem by putting a
small off-white square in the top-left and bottom-right.

You could try to add [trimwhitespace:0] to your
importFileInto-line.

i.e.
importFileInto member(x),theFile,[trimwhitespace:0]

It works for images, I've never tried with AVIs...
