Hi,

I am trying to create a gradual zoom in/out effect on a photo. I wrote the following code (which I found here at Kirupa):

import mx.transitions.Tween;  
import mx.transitions.easing.\*;  
var xScaleT:Tween = new Tween(island\_mc, “\_xscale”, Back.easeOut, 80, 100, 120, true);  
var yScaleT:Tween = new Tween(island\_mc, “\_yscale”, Back.easeOut, 80, 100, 120, true);

This works well. My photo scaled smoothly. But the problem is it only scales smoothly in one frame. If I insert more frames, the photo scales with distortion.

I have other layers that span multiple frames. The idea is to make the gradual zoom of the photo the background with some text moving across the photo.

How can I get this to work?

Thanks.
