Hi,

I am trying to make a series of Movie Clips that lay next to each other on the X axis that will alter their \_x value in accordance with the MC next to it. ie. When the width or \_x value of the MC to the left increases the \_x value of the MC changes.

```auto
mc_1._x = 0;
mc_2._x = mc_1._xscale;

mc_2.onEnterFrame = function(){
	if(mc_1._xscale > 107){
		mc_2._x = mc_1._xscale;
	}
}

```

I think this could be way off!!! Any suggestions would be great?  
Phil
