I've managed to sort it out in a slightly different manner - by not specifying the width / height of the container, it sizes itself to the minimum size it can be without scroll bars. Once the resize has occurred I then set the scaleX/scaleY properties based on actual width / required width ratio. Seems to work ok!

I suppose I should say the problem I have, that might help: If I have a component that is 100x100, I want to display it's contents scaled down by 50%. So I set the scaleX & scaleY properties to 0.50. The trouble is, when I view my container, it is now 50x50. I can see why it's done that, but really I was hoping to just scale the contents - not the container itself (the scrollbars are also 50% scaled).

Hi, I have a custom container which is based on the Canvas control. It just displays other custom controls that are also based on Canvas. If I wanted to do a thumbnail preview of the main container, how do I go about scaling everything? For instance, if the main container displays at 800x600, how can I scale it down into a control 80x60? (I'm assuming there is something built in to flex to do most of this without manually writing scaling code?) Thanks, Mark
