[SIZE=1]Right!

I have a slight **problem** which I have tried solving myself most of today.

I have words placed on the stage at different sizes and positions as part of the design.

Each of the words I have created using **Variables** and **TextFormat** [This being the only **ActionScript** I have implemented within the movie].

My problem is that I want the words to slightly go up a few font sizes and then back [Vice Versa].

I have looked into **For Loops** but I cant get my head around them so dont even know if that would be the answer.

So if anyone can help with this matter as quick as possible that would be awesome. Even if its just helping me understand how to implement **AS** better.

P.S. I own a copy of **ActionScript for Flash MX** by **Colin Moock** if anyone could reference anything in there that might help 🙂 Also go [COLOR=DarkOrange][here](http://www.freewebs.com/artbehind)[/COLOR] to see what the layout of the movie I have been talking about looks like, might give you a better idea!
