Right, I have a button symbol on my stage that I want to change size depending on where the mouse is on stage. ie: the y position of the mouse will make the x and y scale change (the symbol should get smaller as the mouse moves up the page and larger as it moves down - as if it is getting closer or further away).  
Any help appreciated! :rambo:
