i have a simple rectangle (w:580, h:200) that i converted to a symbol. when i drag the symbol onto the main stage it is scaled correctly. but when i drag the same symbol into the over state of a button placed in the same frame, the instance is totally overscaled and appears way too big. the property box still shows (w:580, h:200) for that instance though…

am i missing something?

thanks!
