I'm still new at this and need some specific help. I get the feeling the tutorials have "danced around" this, but not gotten me close enough.

I'm trying to create 2D buttons that move left or right on an interface (using mouse drag); one will cause an object to skew horizontally (wider or narrower), the other to skew it vertically (taller or squatter);

I can't find anything in the behaviors list for scaling or skewing objects... but I have seen this feature in other interactive media.


How would I go about adding this functionality to a project via Enliven? Specifically, I need to be able to limit the buttons to a left/right range... and I need the object to skew in response to user manipulation of the buttons.

I would also welcome doing it in the code, if someone can help me identify where I might find it in a similar project's code, and identify the things I'd need to find/replace edit with my project's buttons and objects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
