Resizing the states of a custom button

I've imported images as different states of a button that I've created. If I click on my button on the main timeline and resize it, it only resizes the first image (state normal). How can I resize t...

Well, maybe the community can weigh in on this. In my opinion, it is a bug because of how the "solution" Andrew presented.

To summarize, he is duplicating the "normal" state and then replaced the image or whatever element is here so now we have 2 states. The new state will STILL not resize if you resize the normal state. This is where I identify this issue as a bug.

The solution to this is to edit the new state and resize the element. Now if we resize the normal state, the new state gets resized along with the normal state. 

I can't see this as a "feature request" because of how it acts. If this is intentional, it is a very strange way of resizing new state elements along with the normal state. Either it was not intentional to even allow the user to resize these new state along with the normal state, or the solution Andrew found is actually the bug and we are taking advantage of it.

Also, I wouldn't call that an easy workaround. It's time-consuming and in a project where you have multiple states and possibly hundreds of elements, it's far from ideal.

    Thanks for the additional context, Ros. I've made sure we have this inconsistency documented for Storyline 360 so we can explore making improvements.

    Hi Ros!

    I'm happy to return to this discussion with an update—we've fixed the issue where the: 

    • Resizing an image on stage doesn't change the size of an object in state.

    Be sure to install the latest Storyline 360 update (Build 3.50.24668.0) to take advantage of all the recent features and fixes.

    If this happens again, please let us know! Or you can work directly with our support engineers here.

      This seems to only work with Articulate's build in characters, but not other photos.

      For example, if I insert an elearning art stock character and create the state "frustrated" to put in that characters "frustrated" pose ... resizing still only resizes the Normal state... not the "frustrated" state.

      Is there a video showing how this work? Showing the fix in action?

      Cheers.
