Scale sprite?

Is there an easy way to scale a sprite, as in an animation?

Im wanting to simulate a ship landing so I need it to scale in a series down to x size, and then up when it leaves.

I've tried set sprite.height to sprite.height -10, set sprite.width to sprite.width -10 on the is moving condition, but the sprite turns does a 180, and then gets bigger... wtf?

Scaling a sprite shouldn't affect it's rotation, are you sure it's not rotating because of the movement behaviour it has?

newt i think i know what you mean. its problay getting so small that it inverts the sprite around then keeps growing (negative width). you have to limit its scaling to a small interval. setting the width to .width-10 will keep doing that every tick, thus making it smaller till it inverts and grows. try setting it to (get original width)-10

Yeah, negative widths and heights mirror and flip objects. You want to stop it at 0.

Oh ok, I see now, I guess that's one of those "features".
