Stupid Question Again - Proportional Scaling

Hi Jacqueline & hh
Thanks for the feedback. After I sent my query I came across a relevant response in the forum:
https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=30385
In particular MaxV's response which is very similar to yours Jacqueline. When I tried this I too realised that I'd need a "send" to tidy-up afterwards!
Here's my complete code (all in the stack script):
local tAdjustingStack
on resizeStack
if not tAdjustingStack then
put the top of image "myImage" into tTop
put the left of image "myImage" into tLeft
put the realSize of image "MyImage" into tSize
put the startsizeStack of image "myImage" into tSS
set the width of image "myImage" to (item 1 of tSize * the width of this stack / item 1 of tSS )
set the height of image "myImage" to (item 2 of tSize * the height of this stack / item 2 of tSS )
if the width of image "myImage" > the height of image "myImage" then
set the width of image "myImage" to (item 1 of tSize / item 2 of tSize * the height of image "myImage")
else
set the height of image "myImage" to (item 2 of tSize / item 1 of tSize * the width of image "myImage")
end if
set the top of image "myImage" to tTop
set the left of image "myImage" to tLeft
end if
pass resizeStack
end resizeStack
on tidyUpAfterwards
put the topLeft of this stack into tTL
if the width of this stack <> the width of image "myImage" then
lock screen
put true into tAdjustingStack
set the width of this stack to the width of image "myImage"
set the topLeft of this stack to tTL
end if
if the height of this stack <> the height of image "myImage" then
lock screen
put true into tAdjustingStack
set the height of this stack to the height of image "myImage"
set the topLeft of this stack to tTL
end if
unlock screen
put false into tAdjustingStack
send "tidyUpAfterwards" to me in 5 ticks
end tidyUpAfterwards
on preOpenStack
put false into tAdjustingStack
set the realsize of image "myImage" to (the width of image "myImage", the height of image "myImage")
set the startSizeStack of image "myImage" to (the width of this stack, the height of this stack)
send "tidyUpAfterwards" to me in 5 ticks
end preOpenStack
It's a pity that this proved a bit more convoluted than perhaps it should have been.
Thanks again.
Peter

I want the user to be able to drag the corners and edges of the sub-stack window to make the window and its image larger or smaller, but the window and image must maintain their original aspect ratio ? no stretching, no empty borders etc. I've tried the following in the card script:
