Hey Ryan, Thanks for the thought; however, this doesn't solve my problem. The problem is this: The children of the canvas that I want to scale up are all vector (swf files). If I use a matrix or any other method to scale up the graphics after they are in raster format (bitmapdata) then the

Oh, I see... This seems like a bit of a hack, and could probably be coded a bit cleaner, but maybe do the drawing from a parent container and just set a clipping rectangle equal to the location and size of the scaled object? If it works, I'd be curious to know. Here, the stage was used:
