I used this script:

greengrass.\_xscale = Stage.width;

But I can tell based on the gradient i applied to my fill of that greengrass MC that it’s almost double it’s size in width and I think it’s going past the stage’s width. Is there a script to make the greengrass the exact width of the stage and to not go beyond it?

Thanks ahead,
