hi  
i am new to kirupa and i am trying to learn ActionScript,  
i tried a tutorial and the code is

```auto
 onClipEvent (load) {
 var scale = 1;
 _xscale = _yscale=1;
 _rotation = Math.random()*360;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
 scale += 5;
 if (scale>100) {
 scale = 1;
 _rotation = Math.random()*360;
  }
 _xscale = _yscale= scale;
}
 

```

the code works but i did not understand why the code must have:  
\_xscale = \_yscale= scale;  
in the onClipEvent (enterFrame) section

also why i have to write the:  
\_rotation = Math.random()\*360;  
in the IF statment  
thanks for your help 🙂
