Description

The Flash player defines a viewport through which Flash movies are visible. Typically, the size of the viewport and the size of the movie are the same, but this may not be not the case when SetZoomRect( ) or Zoom( ) have been called: those methods can alter the viewport so that only a portion of the movie shows through.

When the viewport is showing only a portion of the movie, this Pan( ) method moves (or “pans”) the viewport so that a different portion of the movie shows. This method doesn’t allow you to pan beyond the edges of a movie, however.
