Hi

I’ve set a movieClip to resize using ActionScript. But I’m not sure how to stop the resizing once it has met a certain size. In my situation, I want it to stop resizing when both the height and width have met 500px’s.

[AS]  
movieClip.onEnterFrame = function(){  
movieClip.\_width = movieClip.\_width+=2;  
movieClip.\_height = movieClip.\_height+=2;  
}  
}  
[/AS]
