I don't see why you have the horizontal flip for the attributes that are middle justified. Here's your block working correctly.

thank you Libbybapa!!!

I can't believe it only took a point parameter. Am still trying to get the hang of smart blocks. Thank you Again

I'd hesitate to say it 'only took a point parameter'. It's true that is the only parameter I added, but there were several other items to address to get the block working properly. I added the chained point/move for the basepoint (a good rule of thumb is to never stretch the base point directly). That required removal of the basepoint from the polar stretch selection sets and adding the point/move to them. I also added the visibility parameter and other attributes to the 0.5 polar stretch actions. I also needed to add the Distance2 linear parameter to the Polar Stretch2 action's selection set under 'rotate only'. You had the left side yellow arrow included in the Polar Stretch action's selection set under 'stretch' and it should have been under 'rotate only'. Similarly, the right side yellow arrow needed to be removed from the Polar Stretch2 selection set for 'stretch' and added to 'rotate only'.
