think of this man…  
if you want the left side of the object still in it’s position… 🙂  
make the registration of the object in the left side … easy…

Whaaaat?

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

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:

```php
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.  
We posted at the same time:
