How would I do this: [http://www.iownthesky.com/](http://www.iownthesky.com/) if you click on for example the “Portfolio” link and then “Print” the display boxes seem to resize/grow with a little bouncy effect?

If anyway can replicate at least on square for me, I would be really really greatful thanks!

i cant do the coding for you but here is how it will work.

make a square using the tools. put shadow etc if you want.

convert it into a movieclip movSquare. put it off stage or make it invisible.

now on click/release, place the movSquare like  
\_x=100, \_y =100; and set the dimensions to minimum like \_width=3 and \_height=1;

then in a framed loop (example gotoandplay(2)😉  
keep increasing the width and height and decreasing the x and y.

this will make your normal growing square.

do some experimentation for the bounce effect.

hope this helps

It does help - however I am new to actionscript and couldn’t implement the code from what you have given me, I only know basic action-script. Thanks though.
