Finally figured this out.
I was generating a MovieClip, drawing it to a BitmapData object, then turning
that into my material.
However, there's a much easier way if you change the scale of the material. I
don't know how I missed this property before, but by far it's a better way to
go:
public function setSize (instance:Object3D, scaleX:Number, scaleY:Number):void {
var plane:Plane = instance as Plane;
var material:MovieMaterial = plane.material as MovieMaterial;
plane.width = objectWidth * scaleX;
plane.height = objectHeight * scaleY;
material.scaleX = 1 / scaleX;
material.scaleY = 1 / scaleY;
}
This will crop the plane (center aligned) so long as the scale is greater than
zero. I have checks elsewhere in my app which control the value so that's why I
don't have a check in here. objectWidth and objectHeight are values elsewhere
in the class which define the original size of the plane.

Whoops again, you wouldn't need a mask if you are just drawing that section
of the MovieClip...
However if the reason you really need MovieMaterial is because of
interactivity, I don't have any suggestions how that may work, sorry...

Whoops, Movie Material, that may be tough.
You might need to create a hidden MC with a mask that you control the size
according to the size of the plane, and draw just that part using draw().
Then you can take that bitmap and feed it to a BitmapMaterial each time your
plane changes size.
Let me know if it makes sense.

Offhand, an easy way may be to use a TransformBitmapMaterial and come up
with some calculation for the materials scaleX,Y and offsetX,Y, according to
the scale of the plane that you feed that calculation.
If I had some time (I don't sorry) I would give it a shot, but I don't
think it should take more than 30 mins - an hour of messing with the
numbers.
Let me know if it works out for you.

I want to resize a plane without squishing its material. Is there a way
to do that? I'm using a MovieMaterial. I'm okay with using a clipping mask
of some kind, but I'm not sure how to do that on an object level. I know how
to add a clipping mask for a View, but that doesn't help me in this case.
Thanks in advance for the help!
