MovieClip 525
Example
The following example creates a movie clip called box_mc at runtime. 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;
};
