thanks for the tip LD. here is the function I set up for resize

private function onResize(evt:ResizeEvent):void{
               var scaleF:Number = this.height/bImage.contentHeight;
               if(this.height<bImage.contentHeight){
                   bImage.scaleY = bImage.scaleX = scaleF;
               }else{
                   bImage.scaleY = bImage.scaleX = 1;
               }
               bImage.x = (this.width/2) - (bImage.contentWidth / 2);
                  bImage.y = (this.height/ 2) - (bImage.contentHeight/ 2);
           }
...
<mx:Image id="bImage" source="{imgsrc}" complete="imgLoaded(event)" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/>

it works great, will scale the image up to its original size, then keeps it centered.

Thanks

Not sure if this will work but what if you placed your image inside of
a Canvas (100% x 100%), which is inside if your VDividedBox. Create a
listener on the Canvas for a ResizeEvent.RESIZE and call a new
function on the event. This call out may be able to stretch your
image to the proper size. Good Luck.
