html5 scaleX moves the object.

hi all.)

noob question:

i have an object on stage, with regpoint attached to the left side of it, like this:

now, after applying this line of code:

this.orange.scaleX=80;

it looks like this:

how can i fix this kind of behavior?

80???  that's increasing orange's width 800 times.

use the magnifying glass to significantly increase the mag of the left side of orange so you can make the necessary correction to align the transform point to the left.

thank you.)

i had to use a sniper scope with a microscope function for this, but it did the trick.

you're welcome.

hint:  with the magnifier tool selected you can drag a rectangle around the region you want to magnify (to fill your viewable region).

As kglad suggested, at that percentage increase, any small offset to that registration point will blow out the position.

Make sure you have snapping features on, snap to objects with snap to pixels usually does the trick.

Drag the registration point and it will snap onto the closest handle, or zoom in and snap to an edge of the image.
