Hi all,  
Last time I posted here everyone was very helpful so thought I’d try and see if anyone could help me again.  
I’m trying to make 4 simple rectangular buttons. The buttons will be the standard ‘home’, ‘contacts’ etc. I am ok with the buttons themselves, but what I am after is a mouseover effect which makes the button grow slightly (smoothly). I can do it using a larger image as the down keyframe but it looks ugly and jerky.

Could anyone help me please with how to set out achieving this?

Many thanks

Silvia
