How to Make the outer box smaller

Hi everyone,
WHen I put an actor into a scene and select it it has a white box around it that is meant to adjust the placement and size. Is it possible to make that box smaller but don't change the size of the actor?

Thanks

    Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish but no the box that appears matches the dimensions of the actor so there is no way to change the size of that. why do you want to do that?

    yeah i think your problem is your images arent cropped enough so you have white around your actor. the box is the whole area of the actor.

    Around each actor is a huge box around the it and when I have a lot of actors right next to each other (making a level select) and I try to select one I always wind up selecting something else because the adjusting boxes on the outside are overlapping each other because they are so much bigger then the real size of the actor.

    On your mac go into applications and then utilities. You'll see a app called grab, thats to take screenshots.

    Theres also a keyboard shortcut i forgot though

    I figured it out. It's Command, Shift, and 3.

    Yep your problem is what i thought. Your images aren't cropped. You have a little image and then all that transparent space around it. You need to open the image up in gimp or photoshop or whatever you use and crop the image so the graphic just fits in it.

    cheers

    also don't be alarmed but you will have to re size and re position everything once you get it cropped correctly.
