How can I create a button to control the width of a certain picture by just sliding the button on a scale in Flash 8? (I’ve found the actionscript for the button in a sample file in Flash MX. It looks like this:  
[COLOR=navy]onClipEvent (load) {  
initx = \_x;  
left = \_x-50;  
right = \_x+50;  
top = \_y;  
bottom = \_y;  
}[/COLOR]
