No! Honest injun! I don't want a 3d environment! I just want to give the most basic impression of pulling towards and pushing away of images. The maths isn't the problem, its the moving and scaling at the same time. I took a quick look at AnimationEngine, which clearly does lots of fantastic things I don't need. However, I would get it if it was the only way to solve this problem. I couldn't see any commands that obviously related to scaling on the move though - can anyone say definitively?
