Increasing or decreasing your view of the Stage
You can author in Director on a zoomed Stage—one that is either larger or smaller than the
normal size of the movie. Additionally, the Stage includes an offstage canvas area within the Stage
window but outside of the active movie area. This canvas area is useful for assembling your media
either before or after they appear on the Stage.
The offstage canvas is also useful as a way to preload media in projectors. For example, sprites in a
frame, but offstage, are loaded into memory so they are ready to play in the subsequent frame.
