So I am trying to cut a DisplayObject (DO) into bitmapdata chunks that are roughly 1000 by 1000 pixels. When I get the initial bounds of the DO I they are x=-396, y0, w=1110, h=1633.
I think the x of -396 is throwing me off. Plus, I feel like I am fighting myself on the Matrix vs. Rectangle in the hugeBmp.draw(DO, mtrx, null, null, rec, false ); If I do this mtrx.translate( initRecX, initRecY ); all is fine it works. (the above is moving the DO to x=0 and y=0 when it grabs the bitmapdata). But I also need to scale via mtrx.scale( .5, .5), which is where things stop working. I need to slide over via translate then scale down the section of DO I am trying to grab a snapshot of. Any ideas or examples out there? J
