Swift Change UIContainerView height and width

Question

I have two ContainerView which are placed above each other,for example ContainerA is front of ContainerB.

When a Button tapped ContainerA width and height should change to a smaller size, then ContainerB will be shown.

How can I change height and width of a container view using swift instead of story board? does it have something like transform?

change its frame:

let currentContainerViewFrame = containerView?.frame
currentContainerViewFrame?.width -= 200
currentContainerViewFrame?.height -= 200
containerView?.frame = currentContainerViewFrame

or work with its transform property:

containerView?.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 0.7, 0.7)

it doesn't have something like transform? – Ali Lashini Apr 03 '16 at 13:20
it has. you could also use that: `containerView?.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.5, 0.5)` – André Slotta Apr 03 '16 at 13:23
it says: Use of unresolved identifier 'containerView' when I write the first line – Ali Lashini Apr 03 '16 at 13:31

of course you have to replace it with the reference to your containerview whose size you want to change! – André Slotta Apr 03 '16 at 13:37
I don't know what is the reference, cause when I Ctrl + drag and drop from the container to the ViewController.swift I can not declare it to work with and nothing happens – Ali Lashini Apr 03 '16 at 13:42
