I am officially addicted to making Flash extensions. It seems to tickle some very nerdy part of my brain.

This one sets the size of the stage based on a selected element. That element can be pretty much anything on the stage (shape, symbol, text, etc).

Compatible with Flash MX 2008, Flash 8, and Flash CS3.

This is a simple feature that I’ve always wanted in Flash, so I decided to create it.

Free (CS3 & newer) download here.

…And, by request, here’s a version for Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8.

These should cut down on the dragging and scrolling and searching. I got tired of dragging a selection across hundreds of frames only to lose it all with one slip of the mouse.

• Select Empty Layers command
• Select Frames to Start command: this takes your selection and selects all the frames before it as well
• Select Frames to End command: this takes your selection and selects all the frames after it as well
