This is how you can crop a flash stage, in case you just wanted to make a logo or something, smaller:

1) Right click on the stage
2) Select Document Properties
3) Alter the stage size to suit.

That’s it.

Thank you Emmanuel.
I know a game graphics animation designer who really appreciates this – the edit M frames is so important..! thanks for pointing it out.

GREAT tip! Was afraid it wasn’t going to work in Flash MX (what I have at work) – but it does!

Note: Consider throwing some icons that show what the buttons you’re referring to look like. Took me a minute to figure them out by trial-and-error (for some reason my tooltips don’t always pop up).

Thanks!

AS a Flash newbie I was a bit miffed when I had created something and released it saved the whole stage.

This tip saved me a LOT of time :)
