By increases do you mean you want it to just get bigger or expand to that point?

it is already a small size so when the mouse is over it, it expands…

Would probably be easier to do it with a tween unless there is some reason you can’t but if you want to use actionscript this should give you some idea.

you might want to try this one …  
it should work with any symbol … just paste it in its actions

```php
onClipEvent (load) {
	var scale = 100
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this._xscale += (scale - this._xscale) / 10
	this._yscale += (scale - this._yscale) / 10
}
on (rollOver) {
	scale = 200
}
on (rollOut) {
	scale = 100
}

```

[size=1] **PS:** I haven’t seen the example at the 4th post … so I apologize if that’s the same :-[/size]
