Greetings,

I have a movie clip I am moving from the left side of the stage to the right using AS, however I can’t seem to get the clip to scale larger or stop.

I was able to succesfully get the clip to move, so I am wonderging if anyone can help me stop the MC and gradually make the clip larger.

Here is the AS as it stands now -

_onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x=24;  
\_y=111.7;  
\_xscale=\_yscale=0;  
\_alpha = 10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
\_x=\_x+3;  
\_xscale=\_yscale=+100  
\_xscale=\_yscale=+100;  
\_alpha = \_alpha+2;  
}  
onClipEvent (data) {  
stop();  
}_

All help is greatly appreciated.

Best,  
CG
