Question

I have a sprite in as3 code, I want to enter its height to resize it, how can I scale the width accordingly?

sprite.height = 200;
sprite.width = ??

Thanks

The scale properties are updated when you set the width/height, so you can use them to scale the other dimension:

sprite.height = 200;
sprite.scaleX = sprite.scaleY;

Easier and less error prone than tracking/updating the aspect ratio on your own.
