I was wondering if it is possible to move the stage, rather than moving the animation. because moving the entire animation can be a little tedious…
stupid me, i created and animated menu, but i created it in the middle of an 800x600 stage… but now i need it in the top left hand corner so i can resize the stage perfectly around it for when i put it onto a page. or if the stage cannot be moved, is there a way to select everything in every frame to move it? thanks in advance
You can’t move the stage, but you can check this out on an easier way to move your objects…

You just got me thinking: if everything on the main stage was in an mc(this is hypothetical, so forgive me for any mistakes):
[AS]var myArray = new Array();
for (var prop in _root){
if(typeof prop == “movieclip”){
myArray.push(prop.toString())
}
}
// not too sure about prop.toString() in the above code
function moveAllMCs(arrayname, addX, addY){
for(var i = 0; i <myArray.length; i++){
_root.[myArray*]._x += addX
_root.[myArray*]._x += addy
}
}
//usage
moveAllMCs(myArray,10,10)
[/AS]
Would that work if everything in the movie was in a movieclip?
lol njs… you lost me at “actionscript” i’m too n00bish to be true

I’m not too good either… I’m sure now that code wouldn’t work…

get Colin Moock’s ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide if you want to learn AS.

No problem. It took me a few searches to find it, but I was determined because I knew for a fact that it existed so I just tried to remember what was said.
And thanks =)
