Consistency is key for the end users. Sometimes this slider grows the circle, sometimes shrinks it - and sometimes does a little of both, depending on where the circle is placed. Could be confusing.

I've been working with this slider solution:

and it works well with my drag and drop method.

Here's a re-work of your file, with my current code. It works great:

My only remaining problem is that the movie clip I'm resizing in my "real" file contains a dynamically loaded JPEG. Although the movie clip is square, the shape gets a little out of whack when a non-square image is loaded into it.

I'll give you credit for this question, then post this final problem in a new question. I'd appreciate your help! Thanks again.
