rect w/ scaleFactor?

Uh, oh.


Make a stack with one button and one decent sized field. In the button script:



on mouseUp
   put "" into fld 1
   put the rect of this stack into line 1 of fld 1
   set the scalefactor of this stack to ".5"
   put "0.5=" && the rect of this stack into line 2 of fld 1
   set the scalefactor of this stack to ".75"
   put "0.75=" && the rect of this stack into line 3 of fld 1
   set the scalefactor of this stack to "1.5"
   put "1.5=" && the rect of this stack into line 4 of fld 1
   set the scalefactor of this stack to "1"
end mouseUp


BUT, if you set the scale factor to something other than "1" in the inspector, and then:


answer the scaleFactor of this stack, you do get the correct, scaled rects.


Uh, oh

Subject: rect w/ scaleFactor?


When the scaleFactor is set to any value other than 1, there appears to 
be no relationship between the stack's rect property and its apparent 
rect on screen.

"the effective rect..." doesn't help.

How can I obtain the actual on-screen rect of a stack whose scaleFactor 
is set to any value other than 1?
