To anyone who could be of help:

After reading through actionscript section on Physics: Springs I became inspired to create my own spring type thing. I wanted to create a button that did this:

1. \_xscale = 0 when loaded
2. would ‘pop’ open and \_xscale \> 100
3. then would occilate between \_xscale \< 100 and \_xscale \> 100 until it finally reached 100.

In essence the button would pop open and bounce in such way that i would settle at an x scale of 100. I tried modifying the .fla files in the physics tutorial with little luck. I understand that for the more experienced actionscript user this post may be something of a ‘no brainer’ but as a newbie I am finding it to be incredibly taxing. If you something could offer some suggestions or write whatever code would make this possible I would very thankful.

Thanks, J.J.
