I think you need to get the bounds of the picture then calculate the bounds of the box.
this works, not sure if it is the best way.
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell page 1
tell picture box 1
set a to actual bounds of image 1 as list
set b to bounds as list
set newxorig to ((item 1 of a) as real) + ((item 2 of b) as real))
set newyorig to ((item 2 of a) as real) + ((item 1 of b) as real)
set newyterm to ((item 3 of a) as real) + (newyorig)
set newxterm to ((item 4 of a) as real) + newxorig
set bounds to {newyorig, newxorig, newyterm, newxterm}
set offset of image 1 to {"0 pt", "0 pt"}
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
the picture stays where it was on the page, the box "closes in" on it
Cheers,
Eric
