Hi everyone,  
I’m working on learning AS 3.0 and have come up on a situation that I hope the Tween class can do. However I haven’t found it yet. basically I would like to programmatically slide in a rectangular movie clip from off stage left onto the stage. Let’s say it’s going from off stage to x = 100 putting the left edge at x = 100 and the right edge on x=300. The last bit of the motion should be a shrinking of the movieclip (to about 80% of the x scale) while keeping the right edge on x=300. In other words I want the movieclip to slide in and compress and then return to the original size. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,  
Rolando
