Re: [Flashcoders] scale 9?
Hi Steven - I'm using a vector - a simple rectangle. Paul - thanks for the insight. I've tried a few things now and nothing I do gets the clip to be at the proper size. I'm giving up on it and may use Patrick's suggestion of the Bevel filter. Patrick - I did originally try using bevel, but it never gives me a really clean line even with Blur at 0 and quality at High. But, I think it may be good enough. FWIW - I also had a embosser class I wrote, to extend MC. But then I had issues with my drawn lines appearing over things since I couldn't draw into the clip itself - as it was scaled. I think Bevel is going to be the least hassle, even though it's not exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] scale 9?
PS - Bevel works fine actually, it was my clip not being located at an integer pixel value that made the bevel look off. Sometimes...

Are you using a bitmap or vector in the slice 9 clip? ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] scale 9?
I ran into the same problem, it happens because of the rescaling of the line width. As far as I know flash doesn't maintain the line you are resizing at its set numerical value. See, you are really rescaling the whole movieClip, in your case I think you said it was a rectangle. What I ended up doing to fix the problem, was adjusting my frame sizes. eg. you might need a graphic (on Stage) sizing on the 9 px lined frame and then load it to the image. I would be interested if you hear of a scaling solution. I will keep my eyes posted. (pun intended).

I have a clip, with a single pixel border to get an embossed effect. I have it set to 9 slice scaling... it works nicely when I simply place the clip on stage and scale it - such as I do for behind my fields. However, I also use it as the background for a dynamically loaded image - and the images are of various sizes. I am setting the width and height of the embosser clip to that of the image, but the clip doesn't quite fit the image like it should. The clip is either not quite wide enough, or not quite tall enough... It must be the 9 slice scaling, since if I use a normal clip, without 9 slice enabled, it sizes it properly. But then my border gets hosed... Thoughts?

Why not use a bevel filter? BLITZ | Patrick Matte - 310-551-0200 x214 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul V.
