I have some buttons that look like square tabs and I want to use a funtion to tell a movie clip to move and scale the the same size as the button that was just clicked. I can get the movie to move correctly in x and y but the scaling is not working.

movie refers to the name of the button being clicked. pointer is the movie that moves.

function Change(movie:MovieClip) {  
pointer.\_y = movie.\_y;  
pointer.\_x = movie.\_x;  
pointer.\_yscale = movie.\_yscale;  
pointer.\_xscale = movie.\_xscale;  
}

Any suggestions?
