sounds like you need to use 2 bitmaps drawn with copypixels and a clipping
rectangle to capture the correct half and scale the bottom half with
something like the flash and math BitmapTransformer

Hi Eric,
You could try making a shell MC that is duplicated so you have two
MCs with the same content right on top of each other.
Then mask one so it shows on the top half and the other to show on
the bottom.
With the one on the bottom being a lesser z access, and covered by
the top
This is what I came up with (works in incubator build)

Hi list...
I've searched around looking for a way to elegantly extract CDATA out of an xml
node, with no luck. I'm left thinking the only way to do it is to read the
whole node and use a RegExp to strip the ![CDATA[ and ]] .
Does this sound right?
Thanks,
- Michael M.
If you're wanting to turn the CDATA into XML, I did a quick search for you
which resulted in this link which might be handy...

The top of the thread may be good for you too.

If you are getting ![CDATA[ values from using e4x you have html encoded
tags. like this: l t ; and $ g t; Open the xml file with notepad and
you will see. The text in CDATA should act as a normal text node.

Hi list...
I've searched
CDATA is just an encoding trick to force the parser to not parse the
data as containing tags.
It represents plain old text so treat it like plain old text.

The cdata tags shouldn't be included in the read data. CDATA tags are part
of the xml standard and are only used to wrap tags that could break the XML
format - making the content safer, but without changing the content.
This:
nodeTest/node
Should read the same as this:
node![CDATA[Test]]/node
Well, how about that!
var kids = xmlData.children();
// gets me the CDATA content without the ![CDATA[ or ]]
var kidscdata:String = kids[0].toString();
I was doing this RegExp, which also worked, but isn't necessary:
var altered:String = kidscdata.replace(new
RegExp((^\!\[CDATA\[)(.+)(\]\]\),
var kids = xmlData.children(); // gets me the CDATA content without the
![CDATA[ or ]]
var kidscdata:String = kids[0].toString();
That seems unnecessary unless I don't understand your question. Wouldn't var
kids:String = theXMLNode.text() work?

The text method returns an XMLList just like the children method. It just is
limited to the text nodes.
No - see I didn't think Michael wanted to get the CDATA of ALL of the nodes at
once. He referred to a specific node in his code: kids[0]. So therefore,
why wouldn't this be a better
Jason, couldn't have said it better myself. The RegExp was unnecessary, but at
least it worked. The toString() method did fine for my purposes. :-)

OK, maybe I don't understand your XML structure. Why would what you settled on:
var kids:XMLList = xmlData.children();
var kidscdata:String = kids[0].toString();
be a better solution for you than this?
var myString:String =
Sure...the reason is that in all the xml files I'm pulling in, I know the
structure, it's the same for all. There's only one item tag in each xml
file. So, I don't need an xmllist, given that there's only one item, I can
just call toString(). But, I see where you're coming from with an
Yeah, I mean in that case, just call the text() node of the XML node. Much
simpler and you'd get the same result.
