dealing with graphics whose size changes

[Scott Rossi]

Are the graphics polygons?

If yes, you can store the original points of the polygons as custom properties in the graphics, and revert to those before doing any size changes.  You may need to account for an offset depending on where the graphic is displayed on the card, but usually locking the screen is enough to hide unwanted visible changes when you reset the points.
