RE: [flexcoders] Using Embed not working in Beta (worked in Alpha)

Hi Roger:

Excellent!  Do you have any examples of how to use this?  This will be my last request and I’ll investigate the rest on my own.  Thanks for all your help.

Cheers,

Dave

Well, in general it doesn't work at all with bitmaps... Scale-9 scales things at their control points, and the control points for a bitmap are in the four corners... the unscaled zones.  D'oh!

 

However, I thought this was a pretty serious limitation, so I added code to Flex to allow you to correctly Scale-9 an embedded bitmap.  It basically creates a Sprite with 9 shapes, where each shape uses the original bitmap as a fill.  Works great, but you need to use Embed.

Hi Roger:

Does Scale9 work reliably with bitmaps?  Or just movie clips.

Cheers,

Dave

Embedding bitmaps doesn't usually produce a Sprite, it usually produces
a SkinBitmap, which extends BitmapData.  So, you can't do that coersion.

(The "usually" qualification is because if you apply Scale-9 to your
bitmap, you do get a Sprite-derived subclass.)
