Hi, Downscaling of a bitmap image can be done in a number of ways (downsampling is a better term and procedure). The real problem is: what do you expect the outcome to be, if you scale down a line graphic of 1 pixel width, or a detail in the bitmap of 1 pixel in the original 50x50 bitmap

here is a little sample code of loading an image from the web then scaling it and using it as a buttons icon. You should be able to easily modify this to work with embedded assets. If not let me know and I could spend a little time later doing that also. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

Hi, Bitmaps aren't usually 'shrinked' (this or another way) as they lose in context. You should use a image processing program to first convert by downsampling to this lower resolution, and if you still can make out what the original image was like, OK. Otherwise you should 'enhance' the

I ran into this same problem and could not find and easy fix. I ended up extending the LinkButton class. I created a button class that can load it's icons on the fly from any where local, net, or embedded. Instead of needing to set them strictly to Class I created a iconSource property. This

Yes, code would be great! I can't believe how difficult this is to get implemented. Hope these things become easier in Flex 5. J --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, ag_rcuren robert.vancuren...@... wrote: I ran into this same problem and could not find and easy fix. I ended up extending the
