fixStageSize
Syntax
the fixStageSize
Description
Movie property; determines whether the Stage size remains the same when you load a new movie
(

for the centerStage.
The
fixStageSize property cannot change the Stage size for a movie that is currently playing.
This property can be tested and set.

fixStageSize is FALSE, it sends the playhead to a specified frame.
if the fixStageSize = FALSE then go to frame "proper size"
This statement sets the fixStageSize property to the opposite of its current setting:
