I did this little exercise to shrink a UIComponent from center. The component is scaled down when a button is clicked and scaled back to its original size when the mouse is released. It seems working fine except that the component shifts a little bit to top-left with each click.
I cannot figure out which part goes wrong, but my guess in "shrinkBack"? Here is the swf and the source code: http://maohao.com/blogs/wordpress/TestSomething/bin-release/TestResize.html Sorry about the cross/duplicate post in advance. I can't remember if I post this or not... Have a good one.
