I'm trying to get a mc to get bigger as u move the mouse closer to it. Kinda like http://www.insidercl....uk/index2.html but without the button sticking to the mouse.

var circle:MovieClip;
circle.onEnterFrame = function() {
	
	var minimum_distance = 300; // the distance at which the movieclip is smallest
	var minimum_scale = 10;	 // the scale the movieclip is when it is smallest
	
	var x:Number = _root._xmouse-this._x;
	var y:Number = _root._ymouse-this._y;
	var distance:Number = Math.sqrt(x*x+y*y);
	
	this._xscale = this._yscale = Math.max(0, minimum_distance-distance)*(100-minimum_scale)/minimum_distance+minimum_scale;
}

This code will create the effect that you are after. It scales the movieclip from 100 to `minimum_scale` over a distance of `minimum_distance`.

My setup is simply a movieclip on the stage with instance-name circle.

Hope this helps.
