Hey All,

I’ve got several mc’s that I want to have scaled down. I created a little function and have one of my mc’s call it. But it’s not doing anything. What am I doing wrong? I want the mc’s to scale down by 50%.

Thanks.

_[color=blue]function movieDownsize(movie) {  
movie.\_xscale = 50;  
movie.\_yscale = 50;  
}[/color]_  
_[color=blue]this.auto1\_mc = function () {  
movieDownsize(this.auto1\_mc);  
}[/color]_
