How to resize the stage from the top instead of the bottom?

Hi  I am trying to resize the stage in Flash CS4 from the top instead of the bottom, as I left too much space at the top of the stage and don't need the stage to be so big.  By default Flash resizes from the bottom.
So is there a way of resizing from the top?
Failing this, is there a way of moving all the symbols/objects in my project so that I don't create a motion tween but just move the objects for all of the frames in the project (i have quite a few tweens in the project)?
Thanks
Nick

the built in Stage class has two handy properties...
Stage.width and Stage.height

  • Referring to functions on the stage from a movieclip.

    First of all, I'd like to thank you to anyone who takes their time to read this. I registered to this forum for the sole purpose of getting help to this one issue of mine, as I found most issues were solved in here. By reading my problem (and hopefully responding) you're doing me a huge favour. Thanks in advance.
    I just started "coding" in AS3. By "coding", I actually mean trying around with features and generally trying to grasp the vast amount stuff you can do with this software of. I have some coding experience, however the way   Flash likes to hide code snippets all over my project does tend to confuse me. Not knowing where I tried putting the code and/or rewrote some other stuff keeps me sorta busy.
    I'd also like to apologize for the title, if it in any way confuses you. Shortening down my problem to a single sentence was hard, please keep that in mind.
    Anyway, my issue is this:
    Messing around with movieclips inside movieclips, I've keep encountering the error "1120: Access of undefined property onTimerComplete." I do realize that this error generally is caused by not having defined an instance correctly or not having it defined at all - an error beginners tend to make.
    Nonetheless, I'm not trying to refer to an instance/symbol, I am trying to call a function defined on the stage from within a movieclip that also is placed on the stage.
    I've been reading huge amounts of text/articles and how-to 's, but they all seem to only touch the subject lightly or simply going in head-first - becoming far too complicated for me (a beginner) to grasp.
    So, trying to sum my questions up into something that looks like a tl;dr:
    - What's up with levels, "_root" and referring to functions like in the older versions of flash?
    Flash tells me to use some display-package instead of _root, when I use that... (I do realize the article is from Flash 5.0)
    - How do you refer to a function defined on the stage, from inside a movieclip? (The function is a timer, that is supposed to make the mother-movieclip continue to the next child-movieclip.)
    Please, I really don't know how to define my problem any further than this. Ask as many questions as you would like, I really appreciate any help I can get.
    - Mattimussi

    click file/publish settings/flash and tick "permit debugging".  highlight the line number referenced in the error message.  (and, use:
    Calling:
    stop();
    MovieClip(root).startTimer();
    Defining:
    var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(2000, 1);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE,onTimerComplete);
    myTimer.start();
    function onTimerComplete(event:TimerEvent):void{
    play();
    //myTimer.stop();
    function startTimer():void{
    trace("startTimer function was executed");
    myTimer.start();

  • How to target a label on the stage from a loaded composition

    from EdgeCommons I'm using EC.loadComposition to load another website into a container within EA.
    Now, from a button inside this loaded composition I would like to call a stop function to target a label on the main stage of the EA file.
    sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("scene4"); does not work.
    It think it has to go outside of sym because the composition container is actually an iframe.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I think you may have replied to my post accidentally. I had asked a question regarding javascripts that could target the stage from a symbol, not about coloring book apps.  However I have made one in Flash, here is the page I made (don't laugh, I never finished it).
    http://boogerbunch.com/home.html
    Here is a link to the forum I used to get the Info to build it, I would think the process would be very close in edge.

    Good luck!

  • How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    I am updating my blog and want to put a rectangle picture into the pre-set frame. I need to stretch it horizontally but the entire frame (i.e., both sides and top/bottom) stretched instead. How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    In Inspector, select the Graphic Inspector. Choose, from the Fill options, Image Fill. Select the image from the dropdown and click Open. Now go back to Inspector and click on Scale to Fit. Choose from the options in the window. There are a number of them which should address your problem:
    With the Blog template, you will probably need to insert a text box over the stock placement frame and work with that instead.

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4?  The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

  • I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we connect to Itunes it installs all the apps from one Ipad on to the other. I unchecked the box to automatically update apps, but Itunes still does so. How do I prevent Itunes from intalling apps?

    I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we plug in to Itunes (at different times) it synchs the apps from one Ipad on to the other. We don't want this. I have uncheked the box for Automatically synch apps, but it still does this.
    How do I get Itues to see each Ipad as a separate item, and not try to keep them "equal" as far as apps installed?

    Remove the apps from iTunes with your device connected. You can basically deselect the apps that you don't want on each device. We have three IOS devices on one AppleID and they don't all have the same apps.

  • How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

    How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

    I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
    If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
    As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value.  You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
    That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
    You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

  • How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

    how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
    note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
    can I import the same way as I did previously??
    but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
    please help ...
    thanks

    Hi,
    Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
    You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
    In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
    In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import.  The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
    In step 3 select the tables to import.  (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
    After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed.  This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
    Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model.  To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model".  This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
    I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

    I have limited space left on my iphone.  How do I send music from my iPhone back to the cloud so it doesn't take up all the space on my phone, if I decide I want different music?

    You don't send it back to the cloud since it never left the cloud.
    You can delete indovidual songs from the iPod, or if all music is available in your iTunes library on your computer, you can remove the music from your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
