I’m using a tween on an imported file on MOUSE\_OVER and MOUSE\_OUT that will scale it X/Y up by 1.2. The problem is that the scaling starts in the upper left hand corner and moves out from that point. I want the scaling to start from the center.

Any ideas?

```auto
new Tween(clipT,"scaleX",Elastic.easeIn,this.scaleX,1.2,.5,true);
new Tween(clipT,"scaleY",Elastic.easeIn,this.scaleY,1.2,.5,true);

```
