FLASH: Actionscript scaling help

[Michael Dunn]

Okay, if you caught my earlier post, I've managed to get an instance to scale

dynamically based on how far away the mouse is from the center! Hooray for me!

Now, my dilemma is this. I want to have multiple instances reacting the same

way. How do I script for that?


Again, here's an example: if there's a list of letters a-g and the mouse is

currently on d, the percentages of each are as shown:


a 100%

b 150%

c 200%

d 250%

e 200%

f 150%

g 100%

h 100%

i 100%


etc. I've got it to control one item, but I can't get it to work for multiple

items. Does each one need its own controller mc and drag mc? (nightmare!) Is it

possible to work a variable into the instance name that will accomplish this?


Please help, thanks.
