ActionScripting Width, Height, X, and Y ?

ActionScripting Width, Height, X, and Y ?
Anyone know what actionscript is involved in changing the width, height, x,
and y data for a graphic symbol?

In the end, I want to be able to click a button to resize and reposition a
symbol on the stage - including easing!

Can anyone help??

Thanks!

object._x = 100;
object._y = 50;
object._width = 200;
object._height = 300;
object._xscale = 99; // percent
object._yscale = 87 // percent

But seriously, read the help! (Look in the actionscript reference under
MovieClip)

p.s. The object needs to be a movieClip object, not just a graphic object. If
its a graphic object, first wrap it inside a movieClip object or convert it to
a movieCLip object so that you can name it.

I've got a similar question. I've loaded an external image into a movie
clip. When i try to resize the image width and height using MC._width =
100, and test the movie the movie clip is not visible. I test the width
and height and I get both as 0, as if attempting the resize nulled the width
and height.

I looked at the documentation and it says that _width and _height are read
only values. But i'm pretty sure that I've made changes to clips before
using the same method as above. I have worked around the problem by using
_xscale and _yscale. But I was wondering, for the pure sake of knowledge,
if this has something to specifically with the MC containing the loaded
image graphic.

Anyone know?

thanks,

Ticean
