Rapha, the method is simple, first off you define your target size,

var targetWidth:Number = 200 //for example, this will make your clip size to
200

// then you define an onEnterFrame function, wich will do the resizeing

yourClip.onEnterFrame = function() {
var currentWidth:Number = this._width; //record the current width
var difference:Number = currentWidth - targetWidth; // calc the
difference to resize

// now you have all the info needed to resize with an ease
this._width += difference / 5 //you can change this number for ease-ing
effects

//best to add this clean-up code too
if (Math.abs(difference) < 1) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._width = targetWidth;
}
}

hope this helps

PS. I'm a starting Macromedia Forum member, sorry for any inconvenience, or
code mistakes

Thanx guys,,, I'll try this one...I'm not good with actionscript, but I'll try
it..For example,, I got 3 Buttons. and What function can I put into them to
load a movie.

And.. I have to put this action on the first frame of the timeline?

Really Thanx man..

It doesn't work man...

I'm trying some things, but It doesn't work,,

Ok,

I found the easiest way to do this is alot like how Jeankeb did it, I had to
use mine for an image background resize at work. What I did was get the target
width like they did, then found out how many frames I wanted it to be for the
whole shift. I then divided that number by the total frames - 1 of the change.
You then have it set the width of the movieclip each frame and divide it by
your interval which is the total frames -1. The last 2 frames you divide it by
1/2 your interval. the code would look something like this for how I did it.




//variable declaration
var target_x:Number;
var target_y:Number;
var x_interval:Number = 0;
var y_interval:Number = 0;
var shift_Length:Number;

//to find the shift intervals

//this will find your x_interval
if(this._width < target_x)
{
x_interval = +(target_x - this._width)/(shift_length - 1);
}
else if(this._width > target_x)
{
x_interval = -(this._width - target_x)/(shift_length - 1);
}
else
{
x_interval = 0;
}

//this will find your y_interval
if(this._height < target_y)
{
y_interval = +(target_y - this._height)/(shift_length - 1);
}
else if(this._height > target_y)
{
y_interval = -(this._height - target_y)/(shift_length - 1);
}
else
{
y_interval = 0;
}

//this will now change its size of the movieclip
var i:Number = 0;
for(i = 0; i <= shift_Lenght - 2; i++)
{
this._width += x_interval;
this._width += y_interval;
setInterval(200); //causes it to wait for 2/10 of a second so that you
can see the shift
}
this._width += x_interval/2; //by dividing the last 2 times it shifts by 2
you will create a small ease effect at the end.
this._width += y_interval/2;
setInterval(200); //same as above
this._width += x_interval/2;
this._width += y_interval/2;
setInterval(200);
//end of code




now this can be done as a function and you replace "this" with a string that
holds your target and you have it input all the data into it like you normally
would. This is just how I did it because I just made it in a movieclip. I'm
sure there are other ways of doing this, but I hope this helped

Man,,,really thanx ...

Is it just put thsi action on the first frame?

you guys are making the easy part complicated. the color fade is complicated.
the resize is easy. for example, you can copy the code below the dotted lines
to add a reSizeF() method to all movieclips. to use just executed:

yourMC.reSizeF(new_width, new_height);

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MovieClip.prototype.reSizeF = function(w, h) {
function resizeF2(mc) {
if (Math.abs(mc._width-mc.w)>1 || Math.abs(mc._height-mc.h)>1) {
mc._width = .5*(mc._width+mc.w);
mc._height = .5*(mc._height+mc.h);
} else {
clearInterval(mc.int);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
this.w = w;
this.h = h;
clearInterval(this.int);
this.int = setInterval(resizeF2, 70, this);
};

Wow man.....it works..thanx a lot....

If you saw the link I posted with the example...you realize that on that
movie,,first it resizes on width, than after it resizes on its height, it?s
not the same time...undestand?

Thanx man....

Hello there, I'm trying hard to get a code that make the effect with a swf
file, like this: http://www.evb.com
each clicked link makes an movie to change on its size and color....

Really need this

Thanx to all....

MovieClip.prototype.reSizeF = function(w, h) {
function resizeF2(mc) {
if (Math.abs(mc._width-mc.w)>1) {
mc._width = .5*(mc._width+mc.w);
} else if (Math.abs(mc._height-mc.h)>1) {
mc._height = .5*(mc._height+mc.h);
} else {
clearInterval(mc.int);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
this.w = w;
this.h = h;
clearInterval(this.int);
this.int = setInterval(resizeF2, 70, this);
};

ow man,,, really thanx ...You helped me alot...
