(FMX) Scaling a MC

[jpardee]

What is the AS needed to scale a movie clip? I want it to be at 0% and then increase to 100%. I've searched through the forums and haven't found what I'm looking for yet - I'm a complete newbie when it comes to AS but here's what I have:


onClipEvent (load) {
_xscale = 0;
_yscale = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_xscale += 100;
_yscale += 100;
}


Obviously this is wrong, my clip just keeps on scaling by 100% :) Any help would be great!
Thanks!!

onClipEvent (load) {
_xscale = _yscale = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscale < 100) _xscale = _yscale += 5;
}would be better. But the best way would be with dynamic event handlers (see in the AS tricks section if you don't know what I'm talking about.

That's perfect!! Also, I'll definitely covert it to a dynamic event handler, the AS Tricks is such a great resource. I have one more dilema, I'd like for a sound to play when my MC gets to 100%... again... I'm code cluless so here's what I have.


onClipEvent (load) {
_xscale = _yscale = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_xscale < 100) _xscale = _yscale += 10;
if (_xscale = 100) boomSound = new Sound(this);
boomSound.attachSound("boom.mp3");
boomSound.start();
}

That's obviuosly incorrect as it cause's the sound to loop and MC to grow incorrectly. Any more of you advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
