Re: [flexcoders] matrix help

It seems like you should just be able to do this:

var scaleFactor:Number = .1;
image1.scaleX *= (1 + scaleFactor);
image1.scaleY *= (1 + scaleFactor);
image2.scaleX *= (1 - scaleFactor);
image2.scaleY *= (1 - scaleFactor);

That should affect your matrices as necessary.  If you're scale factor 
is like 1.1, 1.2, etc. as you describe, you should be able to do this 
instead:

image1.scaleX *= scaleFactor;
image1.scaleY *= scaleFactor;
image2.scaleX *= (1 - (scaleFactor - 1));
image2.scaleY *= (1 - (scaleFactor - 1));

I didn't actually try it out, but it seems like it should work.  Let me 
know.

 percentage...
