so i created a flash file to be used an an intro for a website. since i didnt know how big i was going to make my animation, i made the document size 800px by 800px. now when i published it, and put it up, i have to scroll down because the file is so big. the usuable part of the flash however is the size i want. now on to my question. how can i resize my document properties without having the entire animation off center? theres no way i could possibly go through every keyframe and center everything. any help?

Change the size of your stage. Then click on the onion-skin marker at the bottom of the Timeline window. Next, drag the markers that appear over your frames in the Timeline window so that they cover all of your content. Finally, go to Edit, Select All and you can move your content around.

For further details check out onion-skinning in the help files.
