3 Check the option to Scale content with stage.
4 Click OK.
Flash modifies the dimensions of the Stage and automatically resizes all the
content. If your new dimensions are not proportional to the original size, Flash
will resize everything to maximize the content to fit. This means that if your
new Stage size is wider than the original, there’ll be extra Stage space to the
right. If your new Stage size is taller than the original, there’ll be extra Stage
space on the bottom.
5 Choose File > Save As, and choose Flash CS6 Document for the Format. Name
the file 01_workingcopy_resized.fla.
You now have two Flash files, identical in content but with different Stage
dimensions. Close this file and re-open 01_workingcopy.fla to continue
this lesson.
Saving Your Movie
A mantra in multimedia production is “Save early, save often.” Applications, operat-
ing systems, and hardware crash more often than anyone wants, and at unexpected
and inconvenient times. You should always be saving your movie at regular intervals
to ensure that, if a crash does happen, you won’t have lost too much of your time.
Flash can help alleviate much of the worry over lost work. The Auto-Save feature
automatically saves your file at specified intervals, and the Auto-Recovery feature
creates a backup file in case of a crash.
