#### Usage

    my_btn._xscale

#### Description

Property; the horizontal scale (`percentage`) of the button as applied from the registration point of the button.The default registration point is (0,0).

Scaling the local coordinate system affects the `_x` and `_y` property settings, which are defined in pixels. For example, if the parent movie clip is scaled to 50%, setting the `_x` property moves an object in the button by half the number of pixels as it would if the movie were at 100%.
