[TIP] Quick & Dirty Image Resizing

[Hakan at Exformedia.se]

I have something similar, but also have the shiftKey in the script, your script would be
on resizeControl
   if the shiftKey is down then
      put long id of img 1 of me into myImage
      put formattedHeight of myImage/formattedWidth of myImage into thePercent
      set resizeQuality of myImage to "good" -- OPTIONAL
      set rect of myImage to left of me,top of me,right of me,top of me + round(width of me * thePercent)
   else
      set the rect of img 1 of me to the rect of me
   end if
end resizeControl

Then you can scale proportionally if you hold the shift key down and not proportionally if you don't as is common in other applications.
