Description Create.swf extended has been updated.

Inspiration for this object was taken from 's Frames for staging prop .
"Rule of thirds" guidelines were suggested by .

This object allows you to see how your scene will appear when cropped, without pausing or looking at external tools. the border is not effected by the camera or mouse. and is always on top(except menus).
To edit the border, you have to first select it with the [] keys. Extra things will appear like the "rule of thirds" guidelines, size box, and the crosshair, you can toggle most of these on by pressing C(theatre mode hides the extras).
Once selected you can either use the object's option menu, arrow keys, or the manipulator tool(M key) to reposition it.

If you have trouble cropping the exact area, I'd suggest making the frame border 30 larger(on both numbers) than what you actually need.

This is great!  But I don't understand how you can keep the guidelines visible when adjusting the position of other objects.

Target the frame border with the [] keys. then press C, this will change the frame borders variant to a "guidelines always visible" mode.(in theatre mode the guidelines will still hide even in this variant.)

Thank you so much!  I just tried it out and this will save so much time!  I'm sure a lot of people will really appreciate it.

I have another request if you don't mind.  Is there a way to make the transparent parts of a custom prop "unclickable" in create.swf?  Technically, everything imported into the program is a rectangle.  If only the visible portion of a custom prop was selectable, it would make selecting among objects much easier.

I sometimes have over a hundred objects on screen at once.  Toggling/selecting becomes a real concern with those numbers.

Create.swf extended has been updated, when you click on an object behind transparent pixels, the object behind will now register as the clicked object. If there is nothing behind it, the image will act like it was clicked(for some reason if no object is registered as clicked during a mouse click event, create.swf will crash, I'm not sure why).

Thank you!  I haven't been able to try it out yet (I think I need to download it before I can import custom props).  I can't wait to start using it.  It will definitely make things less frustrating.

It should possible(though not with the current stage click code), I'll have to experiment with it later.

This will surely save some time on these things.
