For anyone else wanting to do this, here's a code snippet to capture a component's visuals (component is named "comp") into an image control (named "imgSnapshot") that's dimensionally 25% of the size of the original component: var matrix: Matrix = new Matrix() matrix.scale(.25,.25) var bmpData: BitmapData = ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData(comp,matrix) imgSnapshot.source = new Bitmap(bmpData) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Gus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > you could also use the ImageSnapshot class to take a picture of the > window before minimize it, and then assign it to your minimized item > and then show it when mouse over > > HTH > GUS > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Sherif Abdou <sherif626@> wrote: > > > > you can use the bitmap class draw() method and what not, then scale > that image and just use States.
