width of a button, as a percentage

read/write

theButton._xscale

Description

The floating-point _xscale property specifies the width of theButton, relative to its original width, expressed as a percentage. Its "original width" is the pixel width of its Library symbol. When the current width of theButton is the same as its original width, _xscale is 100. An _xscale of 200 doubles theButton's original width; an _xscale of 50 halves its original width.

Button._xscale is directly analogous to MovieClip._xscale; see that property entry for full details.

Example

// Double run_btn's width, relative to its Library symbol's width run_btn._xscale = 200;
