scale9grid and width/height

It seems the scale9grid only works when I tween scale, not when I tween width and/or height - any reason why?

Also, it seems I can't change the anchorpoint for scaling - it allways scales from the center and out, evenly.

I would like to be able to tween only the width of a hotspot, so it extends from the position of the hotspot and e.g, to the left, using the defined scale9grid to prevent the image from distorting. Is this possible ?

Update: It seems to work for plugin/layer, but not for hotspot - is there some reason? Anyone?

Nobody? Klaus?

It seems that hotspot doesn't use the scale9grid, but layers/plugins does - is this a bug, or? Using 1.19pr6.

the WebGL hotspot rendering doesn't support scale9grid.

Use renderer="css3d" for the hotspot to get the old, layer-based rendering, there scale9grid is supported.

Thanks for getting back to me on this - as it turns out, that also rules out any scale9grid in VR mode....might be a stupid question, but why not support this with WebGL renderer ?

Can you please show your example?
I would be interessted in which case scale9grid could be used in VR.

I am building info-hotspots in my VR tour; when a user clicks (2-second hover) I want to open up a box as a background, and animate it to the correct size - so I can get a cool effect - instead of simply tweening the alpha and using pre-defined backgrounds. I'm currently working on doing this manually, to see if I can get an action to animate the various edge-images etc nicely - not sure though.

I'm guessing it's the same kind of usecase that was designed for the function initially anyway.
