I’m moving my movieclip around and in order to make things work nicely I need to know the \_xscale and \_yscale values before and after the clip has been triggered, there are lots of variations but when I \*\*trace(myMC.\_xscale) \*\*& \*\*trace(myMC.\_yscale) \*\*the only values returned are 100 - anyone know why and how i can fix it?
