a while ago either senocular or eyezberg gave me an example of scaling a movie clip from a button with ease.  
I have tried to use the movie clip I am scaling as a mask but every time i make it a mask all attempts to scale it by button no longer works.  
Does anyone know why I can’t scale a masked movie clip?
