How to grab an object's current width?

[Redsonic]

Currently trying to figure it out.

It has nothing to do with Scales I think.

I know its' height is 70 but i need a way to grab it in the expressions editor

There are two expressions to get the left and right edge of an object - to get the total current width, subtract the second from the first:

X Right("Object") - X Left("Object")

Adding on to David's solution, to set the width or height

XScale [color:#000066]==[/color] [color:#FF0000]1[/color][color:#666666] / [/color][color:#000099]X Right(" Object ") - X Left(" Object ")[/color][color:#666666] * [/color][color:#33CC00][New Width][/color]
YScale [color:#000066]==[/color] [color:#FF0000]1[/color][color:#666666] / [/color][color:#000099]Y Bottom(" Object ") - Y Top(" Object ")[/color][color:#666666] * [/color][color:#33CC00][New Height][/color]
