Re: [flexcoders] Image scale 9 having fun

Stacey,

Honestly I havn't tried this but, looking at the source of Image awhile ago, I would say it is not possible with that class. The Image wants to scale not call setActualSize().

Why don't you try loading as 'backgroundImage' of a VBox or HBox. I am not to sure but, something tells me that this would work.

Peace, Mike

Here's a little application I wrote to test 9-slice scaling. Replace the .png image with one of your own and see if it works for you.

Subject: [flexcoders] Image scale 9 having fun

 

Alrighty, I'll take one for the team and post the stupidest question of the day, in fact its Stacey++ since I accidentally posted this to the Flashcoders list….

 

- I have the following (flex 2b3)

 

  [Embed(source='assets/header.png',scaleGridTop='20', scaleGridLeft='10',

        scaleGridBottom='30', scaleGridRight='20')] [Bindable] var headerImage:Class;

 

and

 

<mx:Image source="{headerImage}" height="51" width="100% id="header_mc"></mx:Image>

 

Basically it should be a header that expands width wise use the scale grid.

Its definitely NOT working for me regardless of how I set it up. Does it need to be within a container ( tried that, didn't get the results I wanted)

 

Ultimately the left has to be like 200 pixels in rather than those numbers, but whatever.

 

Also the docs are inconsistent, some examples show the scale properties assigned to strings, some show numbers..

 

Anyone got a simple example of this that I could try using, this is driving me nuts, just trying to get an expanding header...
