Centering a presentation when work area is increased

[deanimate]

Oookkkkk!
Errrr not too sure about this but i think its pretty simple as to either solving it or if it just cannot be done

Ive made a simple flash movie with about 5 layers and some pictures and words and realised i could do with a bigger work area. So i increased the size of it but now the whole presentation is left in the upper left corner.
I need it to be in the middle but don't know how to get it all there at once

Anyone got any ideas?

If you don't have objects coming in on different frames, you can use the black arrow tool to draw a box around everthing on the stage. Then go to Modify/Group and drag it all to where you want it. Then Modify/Ungroup.

They're on different frames as well as different layers :/

[Ask The Geezer]

Layers don't matter. What I meant is, if you do not have movie clips entering the stage after frame one, then do it like I said. This way will only work when all the objects are present to group. Try it anyway.

To guarantee that everything is exactly centrally aligned, do as iaskwhy says ie.select everything and group it (ctrl + G).

Then press ctrl + k to get the alignment panel up. Press the 'To Stage' button in and then align horizontal centre
(second button along on the top row of the align panel)...

...and vertical centre (top row of buttons, fourth button along)



P.S - If you're on a Mac, replace the ctrl key with command...
