Changing a Sprite’s Size

The next three looks code block, shown in Figure 10.9, apply only to sprites. They allow you to change a sprite’s size.

The first code block modifies a sprite’s size by specifying a relative value. Using this code block, as demonstrated next, you can slowly increase a sprite’s size and then reduce its size just as quickly.

The second code block shown in Figure 10.9 lets you set a sprite’s size to a specific percentage of its current size (larger or smaller). For example, the following script begins by doubling the size of a sprite. It then pauses for a second and reduces the sprite to 50% of its original size. After another brief pause, the sprite is restored to its original size.
