Consider this VBox: <mx:VBox id="mybox" borderStyle="solid" minWidth="400" minHeight="300"/>
There's no explicit width or height, only the minimums are set. When the app runs, we get a 400x300 box. All good. However, if we try to scale this box: mybox.scaleX = mybox.scaleY = 0.5; I would think that we would get a box that's 200x150. Instead, I got a box that's 100x75. The scaling had been set to 0.25. I've tried this for different values and it appears that the value is being squared, eg. 0.5*0.5 = 0.25. If I try 0.6, I get 0.36, etc. If I set explicit dimensions of 400x300, then the scaling works fine. Am I missing something? I assume that this is not intended behaviour? Anybody else experience this?
