i am a bit lost. i make a prototype function that randomly scales a box when i click on the stage. i got the scaling right, but why does it move around when it scales?  
here is the swf: [scaleEase](http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scaleeaselb3.swf)  
here is the code:  
[AS]MovieClip.prototype.scaleEaseTo = function(ease)  
{  
onMouseDown = function ()  
{  
newWidth = 1 + Math.random() \* 250;  
newHeight = 1 + Math.random() \* 250;  
};  
this.\_xscale += (newWidth - this.\_xscale) / ease;  
this.\_yscale += (newHeight - this.\_yscale) / ease;  
};  
dot.onEnterFrame = function()  
{  
scaleEaseTo(5);  
};  
[/AS]  
thanks in advance. 🙂
