I have a 2 buttons and the mouse wheel enabled with zoom functionality. Generally this is the AS:

[AS]  
//zoom out  
mcName.\_xscale \*= 0.9;  
mcName.\_yscale \*= 0.9;  
//zoom in  
mcName.\_xscale \*= 1.1;  
mcName.\_yscale \*= 1.1;  
[/AS]

this works fine and dandy, but its not so smooth…is there a way to transition between the zoom sizes to make a fluid motion or maybe with an easing effect…any ideas? can this be done with actionscript or is this more of a shape tween thing?
