My guess is that you have an explicit width / height set on the image. In flex, an explicitly set width height Is essentially setting the widthAfterScale and heightAfterScale. So setting scaleX and scaleY won't change the on screen rendererd size of the child. You need to manually scale the explicit width/height, _and_ set the scaleX/scaleY of the image. Ely.

Had a look on it, maybe will take another one, but as I was trying to do the same with a Loader component, issues were the same. Event.INIT event is fired by the Loader and it's width and height remain 0, and I have to use loader.content too. That's just something I don't get. Why do width and height remain 0 after an INIT event? --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Adam Royle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not sure if this will help, but have you looked at Ely Greenfield's SuperImage Component? > > http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/2007/01/23/some-thoughts-on-doubt-on -flex-as-the-best-option-orhow-i-made-my-flex-images-stop-dancing/ > > Adam > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: vitcheff > To: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 8:39 PM > Subject: [flexcoders] Image Component Nightmare > > > Hi all, > What I'm trying is to achieve is to have a thumbnails bar with some > images in it, which, when clicked, should display the corresponding > large version in a Canvas. > > I'm doing this through AS3 in UIComponent-based class.
