FLASH: Help: dynamically using xscale

[Swain Troy]

I have several boxes saved as movie clips.


Each has a seperate instance name.


When the user clicks certain buttons, all of the MCs are supposed to

reorganize themselves (dynamically setting the x and y position) and change

scale (using xscale and yscale).


What I can't figure out is how to have it grow from, say, 100 x 100 to 256 x

34 in a smooth manner.


The MC could start out from any of five different sizes. I want it to grow

from whatever it's current size is until it is, for example,  256 x 34

pixels.


I want smooth movement - similar to Praystation/Kioken's Barney's site

(which moves the MC "section" to a new x position; it starts out moving fast

and then slows down until it reaches the x position of "marker" and stops).

Here's their code (it's public domain):


Set Variable: "marker" = GetProperty ( "/marker", _x )

Set Variable: "sections" = GetProperty("/sections",_x)

Set Variable: "difference" = marker - sections

Set Variable: "move" = difference / 5

Set Property ("/sections", X Position) = sections + move


Argh... I wish I paid attention in my math classes.
