Id like to an animation which grows a skyscraper from the ground like a seed. It should just be a simple set anchor point at bottom, set start image small and grow an upside down triangle shape and in the end stretch the bottom out, but…

the distort tool does wierd things, breaks the image up or doesnt work on a symbol, transform keeps constraints so I cant make the bottom smaller than the top.

Any ideas greatly accepted  
baseball cards, money and compliments accepted too
