I am running a test using onEnterFrame in flash mx but its not working for the life of me…  
Heres the code:  
onEnterFrame=function(){  
size\_txt.text=test\_mc.\_xscale;  
}  
I am trying to get the text box to always register the width of the “test\_mc” however it will not change from 100 it doesn’t even start at 100! I tried changing the “\_xscale” to \_xmouse to see if it would change the text and it worked but still not for “\_xscale”! grateful for any help!
