Hi, implement a destroy method in the class, in which you tell it to release all its own reference, next release all reference to the object itself. Make sure there are no hidden references, (delegates, setIntervals, movieclip pointers, globals) etc to the instance, so it can be garbage collected.

Hi Jon, imagine you have a lot of nested clips, structure a-b-c-d-e for example (a is parent of b, b is parent of c etc). Imagine a is scaled 50% and the rest hundred. Then you can be sure, b/c/d/e will be 50% as well. If b is scaled 50% as well, c/d/e will be at 25% (a's 50 times b's 50). Damn we

Hi, yeah my example was downscaling, while you are upscaling:). var intMapScale:Number = mcMap._width / 744; // width = 2710 // 364% (3,64) so btnScale is 100/intMapScale. Imagine mcMap._width had been 1000 and original was 500, you'd have 1000/500 = 200% so btnScale 100/200% is 50. Note about t
