Newbie - There has to be an easier way to enlarge a mc and shrink mc on click

This code works for scaling the images using TweenLite and an external ActionScript 3.0 file - you could always use this code on the timeline also. You can see I have set up a class called ImageContainer - substitute your class for that. That is also called in the public function so be sure to change that. I called the instance name of the image I wanted to scale - you will need to substitute there also. Not sure about how it will play with your background.

package {

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.display.StageScaleMode;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

public class imageContainer extends MovieClip {

private var tween1:TweenLite;

private var tween2:TweenLite;

public function imageContainer() {

instance name.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, scaleIt1);

instance name.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, scaleIt2);

}

private function scaleIt1(event:MouseEvent):void{

tween1 = new TweenLite(instance name, 1, {scaleX:1.5, scaleY:1.5});

   }

private function scaleIt2(event:MouseEvent):void{

tween2 = new TweenLite(instance name, 1, {scaleX:1, scaleY:1});

   }

}

}

If you can show the code you are using, someone may be able to see why it might not be downsizing with easing.  I am not familiar with using tweenlite, so I'll be partially challenged to reconcile it, but someone else may be able to see the Lite if I can't.
