How do you gradually enlarge the size of an object?

I'd like to simply enlarge the size of a JPG during a certain period on the timeline of a slide.  Under Animations, I'll use an entrance animation to fade in, then I'll use an exit animation to fade...

I would use States.  At ## secs. change state to bigger; at ## secs., change state to even bigger; at ## secs., change state to biggest.  My 2¢.

Thanks Les.  I've tried adding a state named "big".  But once I do that, how do I make the "big" version of the JPG a larger size?

    In Edit State, select the "Big" state and resize it.  It's pretty simple.  Editting states in SL is not the most user-friendly feature, but once you get accustomed to it, it comes in handy.

      Thanks Less.  It is simple, if you just need to have the JPG change from one size to the other.  I want the affect that it is slowly growing, from say 80% of its size to 100% over half the life of the timeline, which is common in many presentations.  It looks like SL simply can't do it.  I'm surprised nobody from Articulate has commented.  I'll do what someone else recommended, create the animation in another program as an MP4 and import it.
