resizing a scaled sprite to original size?

[scoremultimedia webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

hi everyone,

this is probably really simple but i can't fathom the answer, had a look through the forum too and can't find a soloution, so any help will be greatly appreciated! ^_^

i have a sprite on stage that has the 'move, rotate and scale' behaviour attached. it is a large chart with lots of small info crammed on it so the user can zoom in to get a better look. when the user exits that section and enters it again the sprite is back in its original position and size.

what is required now is that while the chart is zoomed in/moved about onscreen the user can click on a button that resets the chart to its original size and position. so far i've not had any luck doing this.

any suggestions will be great, thanks!!

In your beginSprite handler, store the original rect of the sprite in a property. Then just set sprite(x).rectto that rect to reset.

If this dosn't work for rotated sprites, try using quads (see the lingo dictionary).

Otherwise you should be able to manually store the original values of the sprite's rotation, rect, loc etc.

Even easier:

sprite(x).puppet = 0

will return it to its original state.
