hi, i’ve attached a movie to the \_root mc using the following script:

[COLOR=PaleTurquoise][COLOR=DarkGreen]onClipEvent (mouseDown) {  
if (this.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse)) {  
\_root.attachMovie(“bigcard1”,“c1”,1);  
c1.\_x=100;  
c1.\_y=50;  
c1.\_xscale=50;  
c1.\_yscale=50;  
this.startDrag();  
}  
}[/COLOR]  
[/COLOR]

1. i’m trying to set the size of the attached movie (which isn’t working)

2. remove this when i release the mouse, or by clicking on the attached movie

i’ve tried placing the following script in the “bigcard1” mc, but it doesn’t get rid of it:  
[COLOR=DarkGreen]  
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {  
if (\_root.hitTest(\_root.\_xmouse, \_root.\_ymouse)) {  
\_root.removeMovieClip(“bigcard1”);  
this.startDrag();  
}  
}

[COLOR=Black]can anyone help please.

thanks
