Hello. Can anyone tell me how to make an animation using an image file and having that image file get bigger as the flash keeps playing? (E.g. as a bird flys closer to you, it looks bigger). Thanks.

Place the picture on the stage! Convert it t a MovieClip!  
Now in frame 1 make it a little one and in frame let’s say 50 add a new keyframe and make the picture bigger!  
now right-click anywhere between frame 1 and 50 and choose create motion tween!  
voila!

or by actionscript you can do it like this:  
just place it, convert it to a mocieclip and then select it and use these actions on it:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) [  
\_width += 5  
\_height += 5;  
}

you can change the numbers! The bigger the number the faster it gets bigger!
