Whaaaat?

Sorry dude, I think it´s better if you explain it a little better. :slight_smile:

You want to scale a movieclip on the x axis and not on y axis, so far so good, but just the right part of it?
You´re tring to say that you want to scale an object but whant that his left alignment remains the same, is that it?

If it is, try this:

1-find the x alignment value, ex.: 100px

2-Use this code:

on (press){
   movieClip._xscale=movieClip._xscale*2;
   movieClip._x=100-(movieClip._x/2);
}

[SIZE=1]the *2 doubles the xscale
the 100-(movieClip._x/2) adjust the x position to the aligment at 100px on the x axis[/SIZE]

Never tested it but I think that will work:-\

[EDIT] Just saw the Flash swimmer tip, its good too try his tip before mine.
