An image will revert to its natural size whenever the card is next 
opened, unless the image is locked in place. Set the image's 
lockLocation property to true and save the stack. You only have to do 
this once during development. Images with their lockLoc set to true can 
still be sized via script but do not automatically resize on opencard, 
and can't be resized with the mouse.

Use the property inspector (under the Size and Position tab) to set 
this. If you don't have transcript terminology turned on, the checkbox 
is called "lock size and position".

The button icon is always the same size as the original image, so when 
the original reverts, the icon on the button does too.
