How to make an Actor grow/enlarge?

swalker

I am trying to figure out how to make an actor increase in size (proportionally), so it gives the visual impression it is growing larger over a period of a few seconds. Any takers?

Use interpolate on the actor's width and height.

It's something like this:

wow, thanks a bundle, @mark - really really helpful. (virtual beers on me :-)

Ok, so i got this one working - BUT - when i replace the Actor with an actual PNG image, it shrinks instead of grows. Any idea why?

MarkOnTheIron

Because probably the image was bigger than the actor and it resized it. Double click on the actor and change its size again.

swalker

yup, got it. thanks for pointing that out, works fine now.
