Step Two: Setting up the Flash File
1. Open a new Flash file.
2. Go to: Modify - Document
Set the document size to: 480 x 400 pixels
3. Go to: File - Import
Browse to the JPEG/GIF file that you wish to use.
Your JPEG should now be on stage. If it is not on Stage it will be in your Library - Drag it onto stage.
Note: If you are using an image from a graphics program you can copy and paste it into Flash.
4. The magnification on my example above is 2 1/2 times or 250%. So the picture that I need on stage needs to be 250% smaller.
1200 / 2.5 = 480 pixels - new width
1000 / 2.5 = 400 pixels - new height
In the Property inspector resize the image to: 480 x 400 pixels.
Important Note: This is the same as the document size (see point 2 above).
5. In the Property inspector place the image at: X = 0, Y = 0
Your Property inspector should have these details.
6. Rename the layer: Small Map
The map is now ready to be magnified.
