[cxn926]

i want it so that the person that is using the flash can scale the mc's or a picture

cheers,

I want a billion Euro Dollars.

look into x_scale and y_scale and startdrag.
(might be xscale anbd yscale)

Or you could compare it to the mouse movement on the x and y coordinates.

[cxn926]

but i mean as in when they touch the sides

[lelales]

on.rollOver(this._xscale=200, this._yscale=200);

the syntax maybe off but that's a general direction

[lelales]

item_mc.onMouseDown=function(){
this.targetScale=(this.parent._xmouse+this._parent._ymouse)*2;
this.onEnterFrame=this.scaleMe;

this.acceleration=12;
this.friction=0.8;
item_mc.scaleMe = function(){
var scaleDiff = this targetScale-this._xscale;
this.scaleSpeed += scaleDiff/this._parent.acceleration;
this.scaleSpeed*= this._parent.friction;
this._yscale= this._xscale+= this.scaleSpeed;
this.checkScale();
}

then

item_mc.checkScale = function(){
if (Math.abs(this.targetScale-this._xscale)<0.2 {
if (Math.abs(this.scaleSpeed)<.02){
this._xscale = this.y_scale= this.tagetScale;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};

So when the user clicks a section of the movie, your item_mc scales.

I pulled this code straight out of FlashMX Studio by friends of Ed.

Maybe you should buy this book if the above code interests you.It has plenty of scaling examples

or something like this?

that site has tons of dynamic code.

I'm sorry, red penguin, but that's an incredibly incomplete specification.

What denominations?

What sort of containers?

What's your timeframe?

Where are you going to put it all?

Maybe you should explain specifically what it is you want to do with a billion Euro Dollars -- there might be another a way to do what you want.
