I created a game but I made the game a little too big. It would be alot of hard work to shrink all the objects in the game and resize the stage using the properties.

OK!! I built a game that grabs a tileSheet (bitmap image) and some xml files from an outside source (not from the library). Turns out that this is a bad idea if I want to post my game on most sites. Cause majority sites only give me ability to load a single file. NOW, I need to figure an alternative. I tried doing the cross-domain thin...
