I'm a little confused. Do you just want it to be draggable? In which case,

you do something like On MouseEvent: drag out (or whatever) "drag movieclip"

in the action window.


If you want to scale a movieclip, you create a control movieclip with 2

frames with the action:

Set Variable = GetProperty X_Scale [MovieClip]

    If Variable < [whatever you want the scale to be]

        SetProperty X_Scale = X_Scale [+ or - whatever you want]

    End If


and the same thing for Y_Scale.


Make sure you have two frames and they're both exactly the same.
