# Once you have run the sswf compiler,
you will see a button with a DefineScalingGrid below

This movie presents several aspects of the DefineScalingGrid tag.

- The edges of a button (which is what this animation is) or a sprite can be unaffected by a matrix scale.
- The resulting object can be rotated or skewed in a parent sprite or the main sequence.
- The images are not affected by the scaling grid.

The orange line shows the limit of the scaling grid.
The red edges are outside and thus not resized as defined by the DefineScalingGrid tag.
The image, however, spans to the red edges and yet it gets resized as normal.

Note: in the current version, a smaller size is not handled correctly in regard to the region which needs to be redrawn.
That is, it looks like the rectangles used to know what needs to be refreshed are being resized when they should not be.
A fix is to make that region larger...
