Scales in AS3

In actionscript 3 the scales for alpha, x scale and y scale have changed. In actionscript 2 they were a percentage rage between 0 and 100. In actionscript 3 this has changed to a scale between 0 and 1. So if you are converting from AS2 just divide your scale by 100.

Also the names of these have changed. In AS2 they were

_xscale
_yscale
_alpha

In AS3 this has changed to

scaleX
scaleY
alpha
