Hey…

I have buttons on the stage that once clicked will dynamically scale a movie clip to fill the screen. What I would like to happen is the movie clip to scale centrally from the position of the button but finish centered on the stage… as if the movie clip is flying out from the specific button clicked. I have got part the way there, but I’m unable to get the movie clip to finish centered on the stage.

I have uploaded what I’ve got so far… but it would be fantastic if anyone has any ideas how I can progress.

Cheers

Gaz.
