Hello.  
Here are the facts:  
I have a ball in a MC registration point:center width = height = 25  
I want it to rotate continuously :  
cursor.\_rotate += 5  
Trace the width / height within onEnterFrame = function()  
trace(“w=” + cursor.\_width + " h=" + cursor.\_height) and instead of 25 i get:  
w=25 h=25  
w=27.1 h=27.1  
w=29 h=29  
w=30.6 h=30.6  
w=32 h=32  
w=33.2 h=33.2  
w=34.1 h=34.1  
w=34.8 h=34.8  
w=35.2 h=35.2  
w=35.3 h=35.3  
w=35.2 h=35.2  
w=34.8 h=34.8  
w=34.1 h=34.1  
w=33.2 h=33.2  
w=32 h=32  
w=30.6 h=30.6  
w=29 h=29  
w=27.1 h=27.1

and then it starts over.  
Except that i need to have the exact sizes for the code to compare it with other sizes, when i try to modify the size with  
cursor.\_width += 12.5  
cursor.\_height += 12.5  
the once round ball becomes oval.
