How do I enlarge a pic when on(rollOver)?

Current code:

```auto

on (rollOver) {
	
	_root.pop(2, _root.box); [COLOR="Red"][COLOR="Lime"](<--not related to enlarging)[/COLOR][/COLOR]
	setInterval (_root.enlarge(), 1000);
	
}
on (rollOut) {
	unloadMovieNum(1);
	setProperty(_root.box, _xscale, "100");
	setProperty(_root.box, _yscale, "100");
	
}

function enlarge() {
	if (_root.box._yscale<150) {
		setProperty(_root.box, _xscale, _root.box._xscale + 10);
		setProperty(_root.box, _yscale, _root.box._yscale + 10);
		
	}
		else {
		clearInterval;
		}
	
}

```

and how do I make it enlarge equally in all directions (meaning not just to 4th quarter on x,y scale)

I am trying to enlarge it without tweening (i have no clue how to script that:( )  
but then I get the following error message:

[COLOR=“Red”]  
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 14: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler  
function enlarge() {

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1  
[/COLOR]

```auto

var i = 0;
on(rollOver) {
	setInterval(enlarge(), 1000);
}
[COLOR="Purple"]This part is supposed to reduce enlargement,
 ill finish this part after ill know how to enlarge properly 
- and then ill do the exact opposite to reduce enlargement.. :)[/COLOR]
on(rollOut) {
	setProperty(_root.box, _width, _root.box._width -50);
	setProperty(_root.box, _x, _root.box._x + 25);
	
	setProperty(_root.box, _height, _root.box._height -50);
	setProperty(_root.box, _y, _root.box._y + 25);
	}

	function enlarge() {
		
		if (i < 5) {
			setProperty(_root.box, _width, _root.box._width +50);
			setProperty(_root.box, _x, _root.box._x - 25);
	
			setProperty(_root.box, _height, _root.box._height +50);
			setProperty(_root.box, _y, _root.box._y - 25);
		i = i+1;
		}
                      else {
                         clearInterval;
                  }
	}
		
			

```

google tween class its simple there are tuts on the main page and simular topics on this board

tween(MC,xscale,start,finish,duration, true)  
tween(MC,yscale,start,finish,duration, true)
