flash actionscript: As I trace _x I see that it isn't changing.
The following code is in a loop. The value of _x gets traced successfully but
doesn't change.

// quad_mc is the instance name for my movi clip.
on(release) {
quad_mc._x = _x + ((_x * 10) / 100); // the idea is for _x to increase by
10% of its value
trace(_x);
}

Thanks, Will

try this;
// quad_mc is the instance name for my movi clip.
on(release) {
quad_mc._x += ((quad_mc._x * 10) / 100); // the idea is for _x to increase by
10% of its value
trace(quad_mc._x);
}

I didn't try it, but that would be my first guess.
