I am trying to create a text button which, when with mouse over, the text slowly grows to a larger size, and on mouse out, the text slowly shrinks back to the original size. I know it involves some actionscript, but everything I have tried is not working. I am sort of new to actionscript and not sure where the actionscript should be placed.

I will have about five different links on my menu and I want this growing/shrinking effect applied to all of them.

Can somebody help me out? Thanks in advance so much!!
