Please find an image for menu button created attached. Now what I've done is that I've created the menu icon over the box separately in edit states mode. After coming out of the edit state mode the button acts like one (which should be the case) but when I try to resize it, only the blue box gets resized and not the icon.
Also when I tried to export an image for the button. It only saved the blue box and no icon. I had to take a screenshot and attach it here.
Instead of adding your icon in edit state mode just draw it over the rectangle and group your icon with that rectangle. This also will serve the purpose if you want to add states to rectangle, you can add it, it will show whole object as one button.
That did solve the issue. But that's a bug. I think articulate should think of resolving the issue that I was facing. Because It'll be lot easier if the elements are in the same place.
I don't think it is a bug adding anything to a state is not resized, grouping will allow objects to be resized but elements in states stay the same size.
Yes I guess. That's sad. It would be a lot easier if all elements would get resized. anyways. I think I'll have to manage it with group then. Thanks for the help both of you.
If you add any object in state, still that object is different object, and software won't recognize it as part of the parent object. So whenever you edit object, it applies those effects to parent object.
But when you group more than two objects you are telling software to consider these 2-3 objects as one set, or part of each other.
I'm glad you got the help and clarification you needed here and if you'd like to share your thoughts on adding this as a feature you're welcome to do so by sending along information here.

Correct. That's what the issue is. They should get resized as well.
Unfortunately objects were never intended to be added to states it is working as designed.

Glad it helped you Yusuf.
And I am agree with Phil.
