Usage

my_btn._xscale:Number

Description

Property; the horizontal scale of the button as applied from the registration point of the button,

expressed as a percentage. The default registration point is (0,0).

Scaling the local coordinate system affects the

_x and _y property settings, which are defined in

pixels. For example, if the parent movie clip is scaled to 50%, setting the

_x property moves an

object in the button by half the number of pixels that it would if the SWF file were at 100%.

Example

The following example scales a button called my_btn. When you click and release the button, it

grows 10% on the x and y axis. Enter the following ActionScript in Frame 1 of the Timeline:

my_btn.onRelease = function(){

this._xscale *= 1.1;

this._yscale *= 1.1;

};
