ok, so i got a logo, each letter it a clip, cos the logo is bit more than just text, but thats beside the point. I want each letter to start of larger than it should be and zoom out (scale down) to the normal size, pref with a bit of a bounce at the end, so it goes from very big to, slightly smaller then proper size, to proper size, get it?:hangover:

so with help from Master64 (via IRC) i worked out that i could use \_xscale and \_yscale (i am relativly new here, lol :)) but the problem i got is that it scales, but in huge jumps, not smooth.

The class is ment to be reusable (duh!) so my concept is

```auto

start_width = 90
speed = 50

logo = new bounce_in
logo.add_clip(clip_instance_name)
logo.settings(max_width,speed)

logo.animate();

```

and my class file (bounce\_in.as) is as follows

if you can help, point me (or shuv me) in the right direction, i would be happy 😃 thank you

[SIZE=1]  
[AS]  
/\*\*

- zoom a clip into the page,

- and bounce at the end

class bounce\_in {
