In my test there is a child sprite - so I was expecting that to scale when
it's parent h/w changes.
It seems like the lack of scaling issue is due to my nesting of
SpriteVisualElement type containers. I started using SVEs because I
couldn't add a 'Sprite' instance to any of the Spark containers. So I just
started using them as my base class for a bunch of dynamic stuff I was
doing.
Coming to Flex from Flash this has been one of the most confusing things -
the addChild/addElement differences. I've been through the docs but haven't
seen a clear explanation aside from SVEs "implementing IVisualElement" -
but that's not registering well in my little brain.
