Making the pulsating start screen.

To make the word start pulsate I created a scene that was 60 frame long. At frame 1 the word start was at its smallest. At frame 30 I made a key frame and adjusted the "start" to it's largest, and finally at frame 60 made another key frame and returned "start" to the same size as frame 1. By then tweening these key frames together I crate the pulsing effect as the 60 frames constantly repeat.
Above is a close up of the key frames and the tweening between them.

To make the "start" keep pulsating and the spiral to keep turning until it is clicked I must create an action on the main stage. The action code is above, but in short says that until the screen is clicked return to frame 1 within "start" stage. And once the screen is clicked got to frame 3 on the main stage to continue the rest of the animation/comic.
