Got this code whereby you drag Mc1-3 to a mouth\_mc and the target\_mc grows - then mc1 (or whatever) dissapears. That’s the idea anyway…

```auto
 						 								 							 							 								 								 									stop()
myArray = ["mc1", "mc2", "mc3"];
finalArray = new Array();
for(a=1; a<=myArray.length; ++a){
movieToAttach = myArray[a-1]
finalArray.push(this.attachMovie(movieToAttach, movieToAttach, a*10));
this[movieToAttach]._x = a*100
this[movieToAttach]._y = 100
}

```

code attached to actions mc

```auto
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
 for(x=0;x<finalArray.length;x++){
 var cmc = finalArray[x];
 if (_root.target.hitTest(cmc)) {
 if (_root.target._xscale < 150) {
 _root.target._xscale += 5
 _root.target._yscale += 5
 _root.mc1.removeMovieClip()
 }
 } else {
 _root.isTarget(this)
 }
 }
 }

```

Any idea how I can make this work?

Any help would be much appreciated! :look:
