Unable to move polygon objects on the Dynamic Lighting Layer

Setup: On the Dynamic Lighting Layer, I use the polygon tool to create the 'walls' (outline) of the map. Next, I create separate polygons to act as 'closed doors' between areas of the map. Please use the red polygon 'door' in the image below as a visual reference. When the players 'open' the 'door', I simply switch over to the Dynamic Lighting Layer, select the 'door' polygon shape and move it aside (out of the character's view) to reveal the next area. I tend to not delete these polygon 'doors' because I might want to 'close' the 'door' in the future. I have recently found that I can no longer move the 'door' polygons. I can select them and/or resize them, but when I hover my mouse over the selected object, the pointer does not switch to the 'move' image. Does anyone have any constructive advice? I'm hoping (and expecting) this 'issue' is nothing more than my ignorance on how to properly move the polygon object. Thank you for your help! System Setup: Win7 running Chrome 39.0.2171.65, Flash 15.0.-1

Vince, the door polygons are indeed on the dynamic light layer. They act as movable 'walls'. Is there another way to accomplish 'doors' in Roll20?

That's the common method. Have you tried deleting them and redrawing?

I just checked one of my DLL objects, try moving your cursor right over the poly-line and see if your cursor changes so that you can move the object. Also, can you use the arrow keys and/or ALT+arrow keys to move the object? You might also make sure you browser zoom is at 100% and experiment with the map zoom feature, using ALT-mouse wheel, map zoom slider, or the toolbox zoom.

The map I am referencing is rather large, so, I typically have the map zoom reduced to 40%. When I zoom to 100%, I can now move the polygon 'doors' with ease. THANK YOU SIR!!!
