before i say anything, i would just like to comment on your name: very nice screen name =)
ok - it would be easier to do this much easier than you have already tried. just stick this code in the first frame of the movie
Code:
var stageHeight = 500;
var stageWidth = 500;
//fill in the above numbers with correct ones
window.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
}
window.onRelease = function(){
stopDrag();
}
window.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._xscale=this._x/stageWidth*100;
this._yscale=this._y/stageHeight*100;
}
draggin the window to the top left corner will make it go to 0% of orig size now.
hope this works out with your plan
-enjoy
