hi,

this should be an If/Else statement

you are setting the 'size' variable to 2 and then saying If size = 2

(the size variable is always going to finish up as = 1)

try using the trace function to look at 'size' as you click it


cheers,
gm

Shouldn't you be setting these scale properties to integer values, not
strings (eg 10, not "10")? Perhaps that has something to do with it.
