How to Control a Flash Movie Frame Size
Setting the stage size is one of the simplest but most important steps in the creation of a new Flash movie project. The stage size dimensions control the width and height of movies during the export process. Defining these dimensions at the beginning of a project is critical, because changing them at a later point can force you to reposition some or all of the objects in your project. Set the stage size by using Flash's Property Inspector tool.
