Re: FLASH: Simple Line?

[Russell E. Unger]

I think you answered your own question in the asking, Douglas.


When you SCALE something (be it the movie, the line, etc.) it will

(generally, if you have it set to proportionate) make the piece larger or

smaller in proportion.  Hence, scaling.


Translation:  If you have a square that is 2 x 2 (whatever measurements) and

you wish to increase it to 4x4, it's going to get larger.  If it is the

OUTLINE (stroke) of a square and you scale it, it will also get larger (or

smaller) as it is scaled.


>From Dictionary.com:


4. Relative dimensions, without difference in proportion of parts; size or

degree of the parts or

  components in any complex thing, compared with other like things;

especially, the relative proportion of

  the linear dimensions of the parts of a drawing, map, model, etc., to the

dimensions of the corresponding

  parts of the object that is represented; as, a map on a scale of an inch

to a mile.


So, if you had a map, and you saw a road, drawn to scale, would you expect

it to be equally as thin on the earth versus on the map?


I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here, and I know from the depth of

explanation that it will come-off as such, but I'm trying to give you a

pretty good idea as to what "scaling" does.
