Description

Use move( ) to reposition and/or resize an object in one step. You could assign the four properties directly, but doing so would require four separate steps, and the object would have to be moved and/or resized after each step. Using move( ) is faster.

If you want to resize the object without moving it, pass the current left and top properties as parameters to move( ), along with the new width and height.

If you’re using move( ) to resize an image, the object’s alignment property should be set to either Stretch (0) or Keep Aspect Stretch (3).
