I would work out the width to height ratio, add the increase increment,
then change the height to match
i.e.
property sp, thisRatio, incSize
on beginSprite me
sp = me.spriteNum
thisRatio = sprite(sp). height / sprite(sp).width
incSize = 8
end
on exitFrame me
newWidth = sprite(sp).width + incSize
newHeight = newWidth * thisRatio
sprite(sp).width = newWidth
sprite(sp).height = newHeight
end
(I haven't checked this code for erros)

Subject: <lingo-l> Lingo to make a sprite grow by scaling?
Is there a way using Lingo to make a sprite that is scaled, say at 50%,
to
slowly grow as it moved accross the screen (giving the illusion of
getting
closer to you)?
I was using the following script:
pWolf.height = pWolf.height + 4
pWolf.width = pWolf.width + 8
The problem is, the sprite's length is greater than it's width and it's
very
difficult to get the hieght and width to grow at the proper rate. Isn't
there a way to make it grow by "scaling" using Lingo?
Thanks for help,
Michael Nadel
