    myMovieClip._xscale

Description

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

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