my guess is that the 200x100 rect was working properly but the +5 stuff wasn't?
I remember dealing with this and saw somewhere that sprites are sized only when content is there, so for example, if you just add pixels to the height, it won't get bigger, but if you draw a bigger rect, e.g. 200x105, it will. --- In [email protected], Roy Pardi <roypa...@...> wrote: > > At 3:14 PM +0200 7/13/10, Oleg Sivokon wrote: > >These properties may be overridden.
