Dear Gdev team,
I noticed that, as of now, we do not have an action to change the size/scale of a video.
Is there a reason for this? I feel that since you can edit it in the Editor, it should be possible to do it from the events as well! (I really, really need this)

I really think that this is a necessary function to have.
Oddly, you can resize the video with the tween behavior. So, it doesn’t seem like a limitation of the object format.
I’m guessing that you should also be able to change the zoom of the layer/camera that the video object is on.

Whoa this is really odd. I didn’t think about it.
Right now, I change the size with the zoom, like you said, but a simple scale event would be much easier.
I suppose the devs forgot to add it? Since you can change it with a tween, which I suppose is much harder…
I just checked the Javascript events for the video object and the set width and set height methods are listed. It makes we wonder if it’s a bug or a feature. Maybe there’s the potential for problems if you resize a video. It’s tough to know what might happen in different OSs and browsers.
