Ive created a large flash document of 6 layers and about 400 different keyframes and labels, unfortunately, I didnt center the work around the default document size, so now when I export the flash it gets clipped...if I try to enlarge the document, it is anchored in the top left corner, so it extends in the wrong direction. Does anyone know how I can move all the content across all layers and frames at once??
THANKS!

you "might" be able to select all the frame in all of the layers and do a "copy frames/paste frames" into a new document of the right size.. i'm not sure if this'll screw it up somehow in the new one with positioning or not. try it, it can't hurt

unfortunately, iit pastes into the upper lefthand corner still....

if it doesn't help by making a larger stage before you paste it, then honestly you're kinda screwed (especially if you have a ton of keyframes and such).
gotta remake and maybe learn a lesson (i know, it sucks)

You need to make your current movie into a movie clip. Follow these steps and you'll be able to just select the entire clip and reposition it. If you want, you can break it apart after you move it, but might as well keep it as a clip if you don't have to break it.
1. Create a new layer and draw ANYTHING.
2. Make that thing into a Movie Clip.
3. Select All of your original frames (400 frames x the 6 other layers) and ctrl-alt-C or edit, copy frames
4. Go into the movie clip created in steps 1 and 2 and add 6 new layers.
5. highlight the entire 6 layers x 400 frames block
6. Control-alt-V or Edit, paste to paste all frames
7. Delete random object created in step 1
8. Exit Clip and delete original 6 layers so you just have your clip, which now holds a copy of your 6 original layers.
9. Move freely.
