Hi Greg, I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do but if I understand correctly you can do the following. You could make this into a component but for testing do the following.
Add a canvas to your application. Set it to the height and width you want. Add an image component to it and anchor it to the vertical and horizontal center. Do not set width or height. Set the images vertical and horizontal align to middle and center. Set the source of the image. Run the application. Go back to the Flash Builder. Check when the image has loaded, add an event.complete handler. When you get that you'll have the width and height of the image. Now, either set the container to the width and height or scale the image up by either by increasing the scaleX, scaleY or setting the width OR height to the width and or height of the container. I would add a width and height slider and a scaleX and scaleY slider next to the canvas so you can test it. You'll have to tweak this obviously. Investigate the maintainAspectRatio property on the Image class, the clipContent property and the other properties on the Image class. dorkie image wrangling dork from dorktown On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 3:31 PM, Greg Hess <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi All, > > I have a content area that I need to fill with a user supplied > graphic.
