Fantastic! Setting LockLoc to false did the trick. I wonder why lockLoc set to false creates this pulsing effect (the image is actually getting smaller and returning to its original size) in the first place.

Anyway, problem solved.

And Alejandro, many thanks for sharing the code which I think I may have some use for in another way.

Many thanks!

Yes, lockLoc produces this effect in
a rotating image. :(

Check if this handler posted by Jim Hurley
could help in your project:

The script below will allow you to rotate an image about any predefined
point.

Create a button.
Create an image.
Place the button at any point relative to the image. (Perhaps use a grab me
in a mousedown handler.)
Click the button.
The image will rotate about the center of the button.
(For your application you would replace the center of rotation with the
center of mass.)


on mouseUp
    set the angle of img 1 to 0
    put the loc of me into myLoc

    --Set the coor of the rotation Pt
    put item 1 of myLoc into x0
    put item 2 of myLoc into y0
--Get the loc of the image
    put the loc of img 1 into tLoc
    put item 1 of tLoc into xC
    put item 2 of tLoc into yC

    --Get the distance between the roation pt and the image center
    put sqrt ( (xC - x0 )^2 + (yC - y0)^2 )  into L

     --Get the angle of the line from the rotation center to the image center
    put atan2(yC-y0, xC-x0) *180/pi into phi0

    put 0 into tAngle

    repeat 360 times
       lock screen
       set the angle of img 1 to -tAngle
       put phi0 + tAngle into phi
       set the loc of img 1 to (x0 + L * cos(phi*pi/180)), (y0 + L *
sin(phi*pi/180))
       unlock screen

       add 1 to tAngle
       wait 10 millisec --or whatever
    end repeat
end mouseUp

on mouseDown
    grab me --So that you can relocate the rotation center.
end mouseDown
