Jason,
This is a common problem in Flash as well. The solution is to nest the object you want to scale within a parent object which you then rotate. Try this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" backgroundColor="white" > <mx:Button label="parallel" click="parallel.play()"/> <mx:Button x="100" label="sequence" click="sequence.play()"/> <mx:Button x="200" label="reset" click="c.x=200; c.y=200; c.rotation=0; p.x=0; p.y=0; p.scaleX=1; p.scaleY=1;"/> <mx:Canvas id="c" x="200" y="200"> <mx:Panel id="p" width="100" height="100" x="0" y="0"/> </mx:Canvas> <mx:Parallel id="parallel" duration="200"> <mx:Rotate target="{c}" angleFrom="0" angleTo="90"/> <mx:Zoom target="{p}" zoomHeightTo="0.5" zoomWidthTo="0.5"/> </mx:Parallel> <mx:Sequence id="sequence" duration="200"> <mx:Rotate target="{c}" angleFrom="0" angleTo="90"/> <mx:Zoom target="{p}" zoomHeightTo="0.5" zoomWidthTo="0.5"/> </mx:Sequence> </mx:Application> Regards, -Keith <http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net/> http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net
