Oh great group of Flex developer, share your wisdom. I can't wrap my head around the <mx:Image> tag apparently. When wording with HTML, if I wanted to constrain an image's width, I would set it directly and the height would be resized perportionately. I tried this with <mx:Image> and I seem to get a lot of space under the image. I thought the maintainAspectRatio="true" would do the same thing as not setting either the height or width.
Lets say I have an image that is 500px x 300px and I want to size it down to 250px x 150px (by only setting the width). How can I get a nice tight image with no space under or around it by sizing the width only?
