im trying to force the scale﻿ one of my ui object so im sending it a patching_rect 20 20 300 400 (x y width and height) message which works fine but i have a number value coming form a float which will determine the width of the ui﻿ object (which will change each time i load a new audio track). how do i get this value in between the x y and height to change correspondingly? does that makes sense ?

force-scaling

Use the scale object to get the range of width values you want, then use the $1 argument in a message box to insert the width value into a patching_rect message. Something like this:
