If you want to animate after resizing then you want to add all copy rights  then:  lets animate.

EX 5 - I did each building different, make sure you add a Nrl for each building's color --I ended with nine- close them out
2.) start Duplicating the sun and move it down, layer by layer, continue to dup. the sun and moving them down.
when done, work on moving the night layer up, so as the sun goes down the night comes up with the lighted buildings.
3.) when happy and if you caught up by now. I want you to close out each section-- Copy merged layers and working by layers- place 1st layer in animation shop as New animations. all other layers will be paste after the current layer-- when you are done, 10 frames -- edit = select all - copy and clicking on #10- add these after the current frame then reverse frames- you should have anywhere from 19 - 20
4.) now click on #7 - open "animation notes " make active layers 7-19 - propagate paste - and paste into  selected frame- reverse the animation
5.) Now clicking on frame 1 - select all - animation - animation properties - opaque- white and then click  on #1 - change frame properties
