You would be better to multiply (scale) rather than adding Try multiplying by 1.1 every loop but remember to round the value up/convert to int again!

Is there a way to make a repeat loop to make a sprite grow and shrink in a way that will maintain proportions? In other words, it's easy to make a perfect box grow in size, but how do you make a rectangle grow and keep it's proportions while it grows? This is my code, but it doesn't work. repeat while (mySprite.height < member(mySprite.member).height) and (mySprite.width < member(mySprite.member).width) mySprite.height = mySprite.height + 5 mySprite.width = mySprite.width + 5 updatestage end repeat Thanks for any help!
