I am attempting to learn using Sprites for AS3-only apps and how to work with them best. I have an app that extends a Sprite and it contains another Sprite within it. How do I make it so the inner Sprite fills up the outer Sprite?
The outer Sprite generates a swf that is placed within an embed of any size. I can use the graphic object of the outer Sprite to draw a rectangle that takes up the available space. If I move that drawing code to an inner child Sprite the rectangle drawn is 50% smaller in size. So if the embed is of dimensions 200x250 using the outer Sprites graphic object will draw a 200x250 rectangle. I move it into the inner Sprite and now the rectangle is 100x125. This is always the case even if I explicitly set the dimensions of the inner Sprite and the drawing code to use 200x250 dimensions. Can someone explain this to me? I have read the Drawing API but I am having trouble drawing using inner child Sprites. The examples always use the outer Sprite to do the drawing. I am trying to write AS3-only components that draw themselves. Thank you, Sean
