Say I create a cartoon of a man in
 photoshop and I paste him into Revolution.  Then my little man becomes
 an "image" in Revolution language.  However, when I paste him in, the
 rect of the image is the size of the entire card!  How can I get the
 rect of my little man to be exactly the size of him?

I was about to suggest pasting into a locked (size and position) image object, because I thought this would resize the picture to the image size like it does in SuperCard, but a quick experiment shows that it doesn't. Must Andrew therefore do the resizing either outside RunRev or inside via script? I am interested in a RunRev internal solution myself - can anyone suggest the most efficient one? I know there have been previous discussions about creating thumbnails, but I couldn't find an actual recipe for importing an arbitrarily-sized picture into a fixed-size image (and reducing the resolution on the way).



Now a slightly more complicated question:

[re animation]


I see that the answers Andrew has been given have not included using Rev's own Animation Builder. I don't think there is a really complete description of all that this feature can do in the docs, nevertheless there is a tutorial that shows the basics. It might work well for certain kinds of animation.
