Make a BitmapData object that will be your thumbnail. Make a temp object that will do your scaling. Load each segment (one at a time) into this temp object and scale it down. Then copy the scaled down segment into your final thumbnail BitmapData object, placing each segment correctly as you go.

Re: [Flashcoders] dynamically attaching a movie clip to a class/object

You are not defining what the movie should be attached to. Try: _root.attachMovie("signPost", "myPost", _root.getNextHighestDepth()); Note that I removed this.getNextHighestDepth(). Because "this" does not exist on the stage yet, you can not get its next highest depth. Charles P. On 4/26/07,

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 creating sprite instances in a loop

I think the issue is that you are waiting until you exit the loop to do any addChild() calls. In that case you will only ever get one sprite added to the display list. This is because when the loop is done it only has a single reference to a sprite. You might want to do two things. First, and most

Re: [Flashcoders] Software Patent Question

First off, I am by far not the person to answer this question. That patent is bunk in my book. There is NO invention as far as I see. All I see is process not IP. I would expect that patent to get dropped once reviewed because it is a "next logical step" process. Crap like that makes me sick an

[Flashcoders] ComboBox depth?

Hot on the heels of my previous problem with nested MCs and ComboBoxes I have yet another issue. I have a MC with several ComboBoxes and a List component. This MC is published as a SWF and works perfectly when played solo. I am loading this SWF into a ScrollPane component of another SWF. I am abl
