Not sure if this will help, but have you looked at Ely Greenfield's SuperImage Component?

I'm doing this through AS3 in UIComponent-based class. There is an Image component instance which is placed in a Canvas instance. What I'm trying to do is scale the image down to the canvas's size and then provide a slider to zoom it in/out. What makes me crazy is that I have to scale image.content instead of the image itself and after that make a ton of magic when trying to figure what the width and height of the image is, to be able to center it. Although the content is scaled down, image.width remains unchanged, and working with the content's size still brings some unexpected behaviour in. Is there something bad about my approach. Handling a simple image shouldn't be that freaking hard. Do I miss something? Thanks in advance!
