create shear as MyShear
  where rate=3 until=1 type=x completion=Done
end

Parameters

completion={routine}: specify a routine to run when the shearing is complete.
rate={number}: a shear rate per second. Use a negative value as appropriate.
type={x|y}: specify in which direction to shear the sprite. If type is not specified the shearing is performed both ways.
until={number}: the value at which the shearing should end. Be sure this number makes sense with respect to the initial size of the sprite and the rate being negative or positive.
