Hey David... How are things currently laid out and in what container? If I knew that I could make a more accurate suggestion... but what I will say is that if you treat the entire map as a single component, then having the entire thing scale may be more effective than what appears to be there, which is the map image, and then the icons on top of it, all in a container at the same level. So if you have something like this
Application | Canvas || | Map Image Map Icons What you'd rather have is Application | Canvas | Map Component (this is what you'd scale) || |Map Image Map Icons So how is it set up now? -b --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "stldvd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I forgot to say that I've tried scaleContent="true" for the child > images.
