Active Resize

[wizkidweb]

I know there have been a lot of questions about resizing actives, but I'm having trouble with converting scale to pixel size. Is there a number (similar to how to convert directions to angles) that I could use that represents pixels that can go into "Scale"?

[xyzzy]

basically just:

X scale: NEW_PIXEL_WIDTH / ORIGINAL_PIXEL_WIDTH
Y scale: NEW_PIXEL_HEIGHT / ORIGINAL_PIXEL_HEIGHT

original height/width can be either hardcoded in the expression or stored in an alt value (by using X Right - X Left or Y Bottom - Y Top on a Start of Frame event or Create action)

or course, make sure you have at least one of the operands forced to a float
