[flexcoders] Image component not resizing correctly
Currently experiencing an Image component resizing issue: An Image component (inside an ItemRenderer/Spark List, with a fixed width/height of '100') resizes incorrectly when it's source changes. The Image components source is initially set to an embedded placeholder graphic (while the new source loads), and the Image width/height is correct. However when the new source loads, the Image component does not resize to the Image width/height set dimensions, and the background of the item renderer is visible. Any ideas how to fix this?
