Hello Santos Urbina...

I love working w/Director so maybe I can help re your question w/changing the
size of the cast members...

My first thought is to maybe mess around with the coordinates of the cast
member. Each cast member has 4 coordinates, like a square would have the
numbers (67, 138, 33, 77) the order of those numbers is something like (top
rt. corner, top lt. corner, bottom lt. corner, bottom rt.) I am almost sure I
have that order wrong. Anyway, this is one way to manipulate a cast member
but be careful, because I think this can screw up the shape.

If this doesn't answer your question or if you would like a sample Lingo
script, send me an email to me personally, I'd be happy to take a stab at it.
