onClipEvent(mouseDown)
{
    if ((this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) && (!select))
    {

If the MC is not selected and the mouse is over it when this event happens we run the code below. this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth()); Bring this MC to the top so we don't have the smaller ones in front of it. select = true; Now the MC is selected so set this variable to true.

xTw = new Tween(this, "_x", Regular.easeIn, this._x, 400, 2, true);
yTw = new Tween(this, "_y", Regular.easeIn, this._y, 250, 2, true);
xSTw = new Tween(this, "_xscale", Regular.easeIn, this._xscale, 100, 2, true);
ySTw = new Tween(this, "_yscale", Regular.easeIn, this._yscale, 100, 2, true);
alphaTw = new Tween(this, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, this._alpha, 100, 2, true);
rotTw = new Tween(this, "_rotation", Regular.easeIn, this._rotation, 0, 1, true);

Create Tween objects for each property we need to animate: _x, _y, _xscale, _yscale, _alpha and _rotation. Parameters for the Tween object: Tween(object, "property", easing effect, start value, end value, second or frames, true=seconds| false=frames); } else if ((select) && (!(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)))) { Run this code instead if the MC is selected and the mouse is not clicking on it. select = false; The MC is not selected anymore.

xTw.yoyo();
yTw.yoyo();
xSTw.yoyo();
ySTw.yoyo();
alphaTw.yoyo();
rotTw.yoyo();
    }
}

Call the function "yoyo()" of each Tween object to return this MC to its original properties.
