not easily. you’ll have to select everything and resize it manually.

Alternatively, instead of using the main timeline for the main part of your movie, you can put everything into a movieclip then place that moveiclip on the main timeline to be played there. Once there, you can easily resize that movieclip to be any size you want (of course if you use \_root in any actionscript, this will screw with that).

If its being loaded into another movie, you can just scale it through actionscript after its been loaded too.
