Is it possible to change the size of a frame via scripting?

A frame is just another object; it scales like most things in Opus.

I remember now what I was trying to do, only gone back to that project today. It's the text box I want to change the size of so I can fit more text in it.

I don't want to scale as that will scale the text too, just the size of the box so more text can be entered in.

Any suggestions?

Hi Joseph,
I thought there might be an easier way than this -- what I have here might be overkill and someone else might know a more simple approach.

The script in the sample resets the size of the text box by a particular ratio then adjusts the font size by the inverse ratio to compensate.

It seems to work ok.

cheers
