[RESOLVED] [F8] localToGlobal problem

[mlecho]

multiple mcs scaled to 10% in an mc (mcHolder). I need to tell flash that when i click on one of these mc's , that scaled mc will grow to 100% and center to the screen. The problem is not the scaling, but the centering...i am certain that i have to use a localToGlobal call to get this right, but i am not exactly sure how to incoroprate that...anyone up for the challenge of giving me some leads?

hi,

I'm not sure if this is a localToGlobal problem.

What you want to do is scale the movie clips, no matter in which timeline they are in.
I believe you want to scale the movie clips from their center. If their registration point it's their center, it would work immediately. Can't you do this?
If not, you can correct it with some math: each time the movie clip grows (to the right and down, for example), you reposition it (to the left and up) by half of what it has increased in size.

meant to follow up ...nunomira...thanks...infact, altering the math was the answer, but it has to happen in the onEnterFrame part of my function...that was where i was going wrong...thanks!
