newbie: how to scale and preserve aspect ratio

[Monte Goulding]

Hi Rob

********
Can someone point me in the right direction regarding scaling images - - -
my goal is to pull in a JPEG image from an URL and display it in a smaller
size on the screen, no matter what the original size - - - yet preserve it's
aspect ratio.

Check out the formattedWidth and formattedHeight properties. The basic
scenario is that you divide your constant width (120) by the formattedWidth
of the image. That gives you a scale factor so you can set the height of the
image:

set the height of image 1 to round(the formattedHeight image 1*(120/the
formattedWidth of image 1))

Cheers
