Hello there people!
I just need help with this… I want my buttons to scale into a larger version whenever the mouse pointer is over it then it will scale back when the pointer is not over it, as in…
- Make it scale in proportion but it should do that with good animation
- The scaling effect should only happen in one frame (hopefully this is possible since the buttons will be on a single frame only so as to simulate a menu screen)
I hope you could help me with this… thanks in advance.

you can do this with actionscript, or by simply putting a little MC in the over state of your button. That will give you the result you desire.
