Actor size changes don't work correctly

I have an actor (the image on the actor are instructions for the level) that starts as a 2 x 2 size in the scene. I have an interpolate: size.width to 300 AND size height to 270 over .4 seconds
I then have a rule that when size width = 300 interpolate size.width to 200 and height to 180 over .1 seconds.
This should give it a cool effect where it grows then comes back to it's normal size.

When the scene starts the actor is full size (200 x 180) and upside down, then interpolates to 2x2 then grows the way that I have coded it. I don't have any functions in the code that shrinks the actor...

Any ideas?

    You can put a change attribute in the actor so that it is always the correct rotation etc

    Change attribute - self.rotation to blah
    Change Attribute - self.size to blah

    Put these at the top of the actor.

    This might help.

    That didn't work. I started the code exactly how you suggested. Change attributes self.width to 2 and self.height to 2 and the actor still starts really large, interpolates (or shrinks) to the 2x2 size and then goes into the interpolate the way that I want it to.

    Have you tried deleting the actors off the screen - then replacing them?

    Just deleted the actor, then replaced it. That does not fix the issue.

    the rule that is when size width = 300

    try changing it to when size width is greater then or = to 300

    That does not work either. The actor still starts upside down and really large, then shrinks to 2 x 2, then does the interpolate functions correctly as I want it to.

    do you have any rules in the otherwise section you could have missed thats causing it?

    If you want you can send the project over and ill take a look. Its hard to help fix it just by guessing

    No, I just checked. There are no "otherwise" in any of the rules on the actor.

    I just don't understand why it starts upside down. This is super weird.
