I need to either resize my animation, or the stage.

[AKTacoSlaves]

I've nearly finished an animation. All clean. Save for it being just a tad too big for the stage, as part of it laps outside the stage sides. I've tried moving it by selecting all the frames, and moving them, but that only ever moves the last frame for some reason. I've tried using edit "multiple frames," and then ctrl+a, and resizing with transform, but nothing. Nothing works. I am raging because the support thus for has been pretty much an F-grade, and it's something that legitimately seems so simple. I've resized the stage, but all that ever does is make it bigger, and moves my animation off center, where (as previously stated), I cannot move the entire selection of frames, so the issue of it being out of stage is still very present. I am at my wit's end, someone please save me from this hellish, non-user-friendly program, and help me just get it sized right in the middle so I can finally publish this. Thank you in advance.

html5 or as3?

if as3, load into another swf and resize the load target.

Then you were doing it wrong.

How to move an entire animation at once

As ClayUUID​ mentioned, Edit Multiple Frames works. Always has. Based on your description, you did everything right and the only thing that would prevent it from working is if some or all layers were locked.

Another technique many of us use is to select all frames/layers, right-click over them and select COPY FRAMES. In the Library panel create a new Graphic Symbol and right click over frame 1 and select PASTE FRAMES.

On your main parent timeline, create a new layer and drag this new symbol containing your animation to it. Position/scale to your heart's content. Delete all other layers. This will work for you but if you have ActionScript pointing to nested timelines/MovieClips, then that will have to be dealt with.

He didn't say anything about setting the onion skin markers, so he probably missed that step.

does using the camera cause mult frame edit problems?

Ooooh good thought. Since it breaks Edit In Place maybe it indeed does break other things. I just tested it with Advanced Layers on and it seems to work fine. I think Clay was right, he must have not had the markers set wide enough and/or his layers were locked.
