grouping a player object with an image

I'm trying to place a player object on top of an image of a TV and group them, but whenever I click group the player enlarges and covers the entire image. I just don't get why. Someone please help me. Thanks.

Hi revmeup,

Set the lockloc of the player to true.

Best regards,

Mark

That works, but...

My ultimate goal is to enlarge the grouped object dynamically when it moves. But it is not enlarging. Here's my code for the grouped object:

local tDragging

on mouseDown
grab me
put true into tDragging
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
put false into tDragging
end mouseUp

on mouseMove
if tDragging is true then
get the height of me
put it into h
get the width of me
put it into w
set the height of me to h + 2
set the width of me to w + 2
end if

end mouseMove

This has worked before for non-grouped objects. Any suggestions?
