Hey all,

Trying to fine tune, if possible, a drag scale movie clip functionality. I’m trying to get it to scale on the arrow instead of the whole image. Here is the code…

var OnScale:Boolean;

display01A.imageBg.imgArw.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, sclStart, false, 0, true);  
this.display01A.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP, sclStop, false, 0, true);  
this.display01A.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, onLoop, false, 0, true);

function sclStart(evt:MouseEvent):void {(OnScale=true);  
}  
function sclStop(evt:MouseEvent):void {(OnScale=false);  
}

function onLoop(evt:Event):void {  
if (OnScale)  
{  
this.display01A.width = Math.max(mouseX - this.x, 10);  
this.display01A.height = Math.max(mouseY - this.y, 10);  
( this.display01A.scaleX \> this.display01A.scaleY ) ? this.display01A.scaleY = this.display01A.scaleX : this.display01A.scaleX = this.display01A.scaleY;  
}  
}

I can provide an fla if desired. Thanks in advance.
