flash actionscript: I?m a flash designer that usually designs using the timeline and animation.

I?m working on a project that has small movies playing on layers above the
main movie. The small movies have video in them.

When you rollover the button it loads the movie and it needs to scale larger,
and then when you rollout it needs to scale back down to original size. And
many movies can be playing at once. So many of the swfs will be scaling up or
down at the same time.

The way I?m doing it now is with animations on the timeline of each movie. BUT
this just is not working and is bogging down the playback of the movie.

I was wondering if anyone know how to do this with code. Maybe using variable
in action script or something.

you need an array that stores a reference to each movieclip you wish to
scale. onRollOver loop through that array, scaling each button
referenced in it, same goes for onRollOut.

for example:
_global.clipArray = new Array(_root.clip1,_root.clip2,_root.clip3);

function scaleUp()
{
for(var i=0;i<_global.clipArray.length;i++)
{
_global.clipArray[i]._xscale = 200;
_global.clipArray[i]._yscale = 200;
}
}

function scaleDown()
{
for(var i=0;i<_global.clipArray.length;i++)
{
_global.clipArray[i]._xscale = 100;
_global.clipArray[i]._yscale = 100;
}
}

this.scale_btn.onRollOver = scaleUp;
this.scale_btn.onRollOut = scaleDown;
