hi,

i am using the following code to zoom in and out on a movie clip. i do not want the clip to become less than 90% in size. the buttons work but it is possible to break the functionality as the clip size can get below 90 and the button becomes disabled. can i fix this with a loop?

any ideas much appreciated:

in\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
\_root.inthemix.\_xscale\*=1.25;  
\_root.inthemix.\_yscale\*=1.25;  
trace(inthemix.\_xscale);

out\_btn.onRelease = function (){  
\_root.inthemix.\_xscale\*=0.75;  
\_root.inthemix.\_yscale\*=0.75;

if(inthemix.\_xscale \< 90.000000000000) out\_btn.enabled =false;  
else if(inthemix.\_xscale \>= 10000.0000000000000000) out\_btn.enabled=true;  
trace(inthemix.\_xscale);  
}  
};

thanks,

luke.
