Basically I need to have an arrow(mc) start from a specific point and when you drag a slider to the right the arrow grows from the origin of the slider to where you let go of the slider. It should grow in proportion to the dragging. I tried doing it with \_xscale, but didn’t get the desired effect. Any thoughts?
