Hi,

I have an element which has a `Width` of 10% of its parents, then I’d like to Resize it to 50 Points. But a `<Resize X="50"...` makes 50% of its parent and not 50 Points large. (And of course I’d like to be able to do the contrary too).

Is there any solution to this problem ?

Thanks !

Changing the units of a property is not supported in animation.

There are a couple of different ways to achieve the type of resizing animation that you want. Can you describe your layout a bit or provide a UX sample? I can then point you in the right direction. We might use just a transform and clipping, the LimitSize box sizing system, or a MaxHeight.

Note that `Resize` should not be used for this purpose. It’s a special purpose animator meant only to be used in a `LayoutAnimation` trigger.

My bad, the problem was not with a `Resize` but with a `Move`.

What I’d like to do is : I have a list of card on my screen, and when one is clicked it slowly grows to cover all the screen. I provided an example on this thread : [https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/howto\_discussions/screen\_size](https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/howto_discussions/screen_size)

Sorry for the double thread, I didn’t think it was (I guess now) a single problem.
