bad news: no there is no way but to resize every single castmember.i
think.
good news: you can do this in lingo, and with a little help from an xobj
such as the stagetopict you could do most of it automatic.
what we've done:
hacked together a small script that runs through the cast and checks
"type=3D#bitmap", place each bitmap on stage, one at a time, resize them
"rect of sprite", take a picture of the stage ,"stagetopict xobj"
remember to name the picts in a meaningful way; you should at least be
sure to keep the alphabetic order of them.
re import your new cast members and paste them on top of the old ones.
we experimented with resizing some of the originals in debabelizer. you
could try that method as well. we ended up doing most of our backgrounds
in debabelizer and the "sprites" in director.
when you want castmembers for debabelize, you just need to run through
the exact same procedure, except skip the resize thing when exporting
