Hi,  
I couldn’t find anything in the documentation, but is it possible to dynamically change the height of the stage?

I am using ‘dimensions: pixels’, and ‘noscale’ as publish settings. What I would like to do is, when the height of a movieclip gets bigger (because of its dynamically loaded content), to make the ‘stage.height’ bigger too, so you can scroll more downwards.

I know stage.height is read-only, but it would be nice to have just the right amount of space at the bottom of the page, depending on how high the movieclips are. Reading back, I wonder if i state my question clear, hopefully I use the right terminology.

so if stage.height would work i would like to do something like:

```auto
stage.height= MC._y+ MC._height +30;

```

thank you,

Jerryj.
