This happens when the user clicks the Minimize or Maximize button (Windows) or the Zoom button (Mac). The operating system determines the dimensions after resizing the window.

-- Lingo syntax
on zoomWindow
    centerPlace = point(10, 10)
    sprite(3).loc = centerPlace
end

// JavaScript syntax
function zoomWindow() {
    var centerPlace = point(10, 10);
    sprite(3).loc = centerPlace;
}
