i think there's a tutorial on the CD or even installed.... search for the "workshops". they can give you a good example.

basically, how you do it is you create a Distance Parameter. then, apply a Scale command to the distance parameter.... something like that. i can't really remember off the top of my head lol.

I still cant get it to work.

I add a xy parameter

then I add a scale action

I then change the scale type to 'x'

and the save the block.

This is how it tells you to do it in the help guide and i have tried but it does not work is still scales both X & Y!

What am I missing?


thanks again.

oh whoops, i thought you meant stretch... my fault... lol, i have 2005 and i was trying to remember from my college days when i had 2006 Student Ed. have you tried searching for a tutorial? also, check out the RSS Feeds thread in the main forum directory, do a search there for Dynamic Blocks and see if something comes up.

When you insert a block you may choose any X and Y scale -but I would not use this for dynamic blocks.
I think the STRETCH action is what you are after. Try to read this older post:
