R132 Load image from URL - Sprite size bug

Link to .capx file (required!):

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new object - Empty Sprite

2. Use Load image from URL to load i.e. smaller or bigger image than the created one - my example is with 94x94 px image. Set the Size property to Resize to image size.

3. Use the system event to create a new instance of the same sprite object.

4. The new object has the initial size and not the adapted one from the Load image from URL event.

Observed result:

The initial Sprite object is re-sized to image - as expected, but the new one becomes the original sprite size.

Expected result:

Both Sprites should be the same size.

Browsers affected:

Independent from browser - it is C2 alone

Operating system & service pack:

WinXP SP3

Construct 2 version:

Stable release R132

Closing, this is not a bug. The 'Resize to image size' option of 'Load image from URL' only affects the first instance, because the second instance has not been created yet; the 'On image URL loaded' only triggers for the first instance as well, because that's the only instance that you loaded a URL for. The second instance is created with the default properties, which is set to use a 256x256 size, and because all sprites share the same images, it uses the same image as the other sprite. Try using 'always set scale to 1' or 'on created: set scale to 1', because nothing you have done will affect the second instance.

OK Ashley, thanks for your response. My expectation was based on the common way the Create Sprite works: once the properties of the Sprite are set, every new instance inherit them.

Anyway I could think of a way around by saving the re-sized first Sprite height and width and re-setting them for every next creation.
