Hi all, quick question about resizing my objects.

I've got an image (say ID= 1) that I imported on card 1 and I have a button on card 2 that I set to have icon = 1 so that the button looks exactly like the image. The image was originally 1000x1000 pixels but I used a function to resize it to 200x200 pixels on card 1. However, when I go to card 2 and try to view the button, it retains the original size of the image, which is far too big for my purposes. Does anyone know how I can keep the size changed across cards?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Can you resize the image before importing it?

Did you set the "lockloc" of the image to TRUE?
If not, the image will resize to its original dimensions when you leave the card with the image!

Sounds like this could be the culprit.

Yep! lockloc proved to be the answer! Thanks for the help, wasn't aware of such a feature in LC and this worked perfectly.
