ok flash gurus, riddle me this. anyway to mirror an entire flash movie? or possibly the entire output from a powerbook?
reason being we are projecting a flash presentation onto a clear disc from behind and the projector does not support mirroring. bummer. thanks for any help/suggestions!

Check your video card driver parameters, it may be easier.
Else, I think you can load you swf in an other movie and apply a mirror with some actionscript (in your first frame):mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("loade... 10);
mc.loadMovie("movie.swf");
mc._xscale = -100;
mc._x = 800; // update the value with your movie widthBut it can be bugy if you use some actionscript commands in your movie that refer to the _root.

system preferences -> displays -> show displays in menu bar.
go to the display icon in the menu bar, select Turn on Mirroring.
not exactly most intuitive, but whatever. mirroring of course will depend if your pb can do it.

thanks kpl, but this mirroring means 'show the same thing on both monitors', not actually flip the image! :)

see, what we had there was a non-standard usage of terminology.
or something.
