How to resize the stage in Flash MX?
I'm working on a flash animation and i relize i need a little more room in the stage to add something, but when i resize it the stage only expands from the right and bottom, i want it to resize and have everything is centered.
Is there a way to set how to resize the stage like the canvas in photoshop? (select what directions it expands).
This has been a question that I've had for a couple of years now working with flash and I don't believe that there is an easy way to resize the stage. One thing that you can do that on some occasions is to resize the stage, then select all of your elements in the first frame, group them, and move them all at once so that they fit onto the stage. The only stage handling that mx does well is moving objects based upon stage size at runtime (i.e. determining browser window size and moving objects accordingly).
