Change background and Stage size

The Stage provides a preview of how your Flash content will appear in your published file. You'll change the size of the Stage, to accommodate artwork designed for a larger Stage, and you'll change the background color of the Stage.

1. In the toolbar, click the Selection tool.
2. On the Stage, click anywhere in the gray work area that surrounds the Stage, or on the background area of the Stage, so that no objects are selected.

   The Property inspector, below the Stage, displays properties for the document when no objects are selected.

3. To change the Stage background color, click the Background color box and select a light shade of gray, such as gray with the hexadecimal value of #CCCCCC.
4. To change the Stage size, click the Size button in the Property inspector. In the Document Properties dialog box, enter 750 for the Stage width, then click OK.

   The Stage resizes to 750 pixels wide.
