I’ve read all the documentation, but I’m still not clear on 1) the syntax of these and 2) how to execute them.  
\*\*  
SYNTAX\*\*

holder1.slideTo(-42, -3, 1);  
Here I am refering to X and Y coordinates, and 1 second.

holder1.scaleTo(81, 50, 1);  
Here I am refering to H and W, and 1 second.

Do I have these correct?

**EXECUTION**

If I place these as a frame action will they execute automattically, meaning I don’t have to call them?

I`n using Mx (not 2004) and unless this is a new feature of 2004 , you need functions to got with these actions.
