OK. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've recently created a complete flash animation, buttons, tons of layers and actions, the works. Well, upon completion, I've decide to create a larger background image. Now when I did this, the image of course is now to big for the stage. When I enlarge the stage through the document windown, it enlarges it from the bottom right corner down, leaving a lof of the top and left of the new background image still out of the live area/stage.

Now is there a way to bring all the elements (layers and frames) down to the center of the stage together in one big chuck so it doesn't get all screwed up? Or what about just moving the whole stage around?

I've tried everything; moving one layer at a time in a group (couldn't do), importing the swf file into a new larger flash document (didn't work). I'm stuck. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
David

I think you want the little button below your timeline that toggle Multiple Frame Selection. Stretch the sliders to encompass all the frames then do a select all and move.
Hints:
change all the layers to wireframe mode as this is very processor intensive.
type in the new coordinates as opposed to clicking and dragging

Thanks jAQUAN! That totally did the trick. I was trying to manually grab all the frames by mouse-clicking and dragging over them but this never worked. Thanks again for the big help!
