MovieClip 527
See also
Mouse, _xmouse (MovieClip._xmouse property)
_yscale (MovieClip._yscale property)
public _yscale : Number
Sets the vertical scale (percentage) of the movie clip as applied from the registration point of
the movie clip. The default registration point is (0,0).
Scaling the local coordinate system affects the
_x and _y property settings, which are defined
in whole pixels. For example, if the parent movie clip is scaled to 50%, you set the
_x property
to move an object in the movie clip by half the number of pixels that it would if the movie
were at 100%.

Example
The following example creates a movie clip at runtime called
box_mc. The Drawing API is
used to draw a box in this instance, and when the mouse rolls over the box, horizontal and
vertical scaling is applied to the movie clip. When the mouse rolls off the instance, it returns
to the previous scaling.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("box_mc", 1);
box_mc._x = 100;
box_mc._y = 100;
with (box_mc) {
lineStyle(1, 0xCCCCCC);
beginFill(0xEEEEEE);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(80, 0);
lineTo(80, 60);
lineTo(0, 60);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
};
box_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._x -= this._width/2;
this._y -= this._height/2;
this._xscale = 200;
this._yscale = 200;
};
box_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._xscale = 100;
this._yscale = 100;
this._x += this._width/2;
this._y += this._height/2;
};
