Original Movieclip State

Is there an easy way to determine the original values of a movieclip’s width, height, x and y and set those as constant variables?

For example, I want to load a clip onto the stage and capture those 4 values. I then want to have the clip react to mouse movement by increasing the scale and shifting the x and y values in proximity to the mouse. I have all of this part figured out, but I then want to have the clip go back to its original state (width, height, x, y) when it was first loaded onto the stage as the mouse moves outside of the clip’s proximity range. I can hard code those values into the function I’m using, but I’d like to see if there is a way for it to be done dynamically. I can’t quite figure it out.

I thought using onLoad would grab the original values, but it didn’t seem to work.

Any ideas?
