Draggable Object with Perspective

I’m trying to make an image (mc) draggable so viewers can get a closer look, but having some minor problems.

  1. Image is moving out of the movie because it’s using ._y to drag
  2. Image needs to return to it’s original size when released
  3. Blows up to infinite size

Code I’m using:

NormHeight = mc1._y; // vertical position at which we are at 100%
VanishPoint = 60; // vertical position at which we vanish
doDrag = function()
{
  r = (this._y - VanishPoint) / (NormHeight - VanishPoint);
  r = Math.max(0, r);
  this._xscale = this._yscale = 100*r;
}
mc1.onPress = function()
{
        this.startDrag();
        this.onEnterFrame = doDrag;
}
mc1.onRelease = function()
{
        this.stopDrag();
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

I’ve tried adding

mc1.width = 200; mc1.height = 200;

to the onRelease function, but it’s not working.

The image is also blowing up to infinity - anyone know how to constrain it to a specified size? And return it back to original size onRelease?

thnx in adv.
