hey. on my movie when you increase the height then click the skinny button, there is junk left behind, how do i stop this? here is the skinny button code:

```auto

on (release) {
	widthV = block_mc._width;
	setProperty ("block_mc", _width, widthV - 10);
}

```

and this is where my movie can be found:

Works fine for me, considering that is used to replace setProperty.

Try changing all of your options using that method.

If you chance all of them, maybe it will work.

perhaps you can edit it with \_xscale and \_yscale instead of \_width and \_height… might work a little better… not sure though… personally ive never used \_width or \_height… just \_xscale and \_yscale

Same here about the \_width and \_height, but the difference I noticed…

\_xscale and \_yscale adjust by percentage, where \_width and \_height adjust by actual pixels.

Yeah I figured it out when I was using a 1px by 1px square and I wanted to make it 100x100 px, but it wasn’t working.

So I tried it with \_width and \_height and worked like a charm 🙂

And when I increased the scaling to more than 100 it grew, so I came to the conclusion scaling has to deal with %s.
