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.
