And if you want to scale the whole object (both horizontal and vertical,
use:

my_mc._xscale = 70;
my_mc._yscale = 70;

> my_mc._xscale = 0.7; // scale to 70%

This would make the horizontal scale less than one percent. If you want
70%, use this ...

my_mc._xscale = 70;

my_mc._xscale = 0.7; // scale to 70%

What you're after is not a function, but a property. Check out the
"MovieClip class" entry of the ActionScript Language Reference for your
Owner's Guide on movie clips. All movie clip symbols are instances of the
MovieClip class, which defines their characteristics (properties), things
they can do (methods), and things they can react to (events).
