Hi Legends's
How's it going.

Hi Mobiius you can indeed scale images without sprites. You have to use a bitmap though. Here is a demo I just cooked up. It shows the image scaling. Just replace "myimage.bmp" with your own bitmap file.
Here is the code. Enjoy
sync on
sync rate 0
load bitmap "myimage.bmp", 1
getWidth = bitmap width(1)
getHeight = bitmap height(1)
set current bitmap 0
do
cls
if flag = 0
inc size
if size > 50
size = 50
flag = 1
endif
endif
if flag = 1
dec size
if size < 0
size = 0
flag = 0
endif
endif
x = (getWidth * size) / 100
y = (getHeight * size) / 100
copy bitmap 1,0,0,getWidth,getHeight,0,0,0,x,y
center text 320,460,"Darkvee's Size Picture Demo"
sync
loop
