Scaling an Image

[JamesHBeckmann at aol.com]

I'm new.  I am seeking some advice.

I wish to:  Show an image (file in the same folder) that has its rect set to 
the rect of a fld, visible for 3 seconds then hidden.

I would like to have this image scaled to the fld's rect.

I do not want this image incorporated into the stack.

I've tried different configurations of the following:  import paint, set rect 
of image to rect of fld, etc.

I can't get the image scaled to a different size from its original, nor hide 
it after it is visible.
