mx2004 Scaling: pixels or percent?

[rockjock04]

I'm trying to do a very simple resize.

on(release){
_root.box._xscale=50;}

assume the above code has no syntax error, does this render me a movie clip that is 50 pixels wide, or 50% of it's original size?

...percent

you can use _width and _height to set the dimensions in pixels.

trace(box._xscale+" _ "+box._width)
on(release){
_root.box._xscale=50;
trace(box._xscale+" _ "+box._width)
}
