You can’t change the size of the physics object, after the physics object has been created. You can, alternately, create a separately sized physics object that is distinct from your image, but is “bound” to your image through your gameloop. This way, you can have your image remain un-altered, and have the physics object be any size you like.

Videos can be helpful, but trying to read code and in particular trying to read what you’re writing and erasing is quite hard.

Any way your problem is that widget’s are not display objects.  I don’t know that you should be trying to turn them into physics objects.  They are not designed to be things you feed to physics.  Your button only is using one image, so I would recommend using a display.newImageRect() as I suggested in another thread.
