Hi… if you don’t see the scriptable skew tutorial here is the link: [http://ericlin2.tripod.com/skew/skewt.html](http://ericlin2.tripod.com/skew/skewt.html)  
now, if you understand it, PLEASE PLEASE, tell me… bicouse I have problems putting this in my brain:

[…]  
_[size=2][color=DimGray]var angleP2 = Math.atan2(ptW.y-pt0.y, ptW.x-pt0.x);  
var angleP1 = Math.atan2(ptH.y-pt0.y, ptH.x-pt0.x);  
var dAngle = (angleP1-angleP2)/2;  
var arm = Math.sqrt(2)/2/Math.cos(dAngle);  
// original a 100x100 model , now use 1x1 model  
obj.\_rotation = (180/Math.PI)_(angleP1-dAngle);  
obj.mc.\_rotation = -45;  
obj.\_yscale = 100\*Math.tan(dAngle);  
obj.mc.\_xscale = distance(ptW, pt0)\*100/arm/mcW;  
obj.mc.\_yscale = distance(ptH, pt0)_100/arm/mcH;[/color][/size]_  
[…]

Thanks.
