[flexcoders] Re: AIR 3.2 Update Breaks My App

[reygeek]

I'm bumping this in hopes of a response from anyone.  All my debugging 
approaches have come up empty so far.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Frame around image

[reygeek]

Just put it in a Box (or HBox or VBox) or a canvas or any other container and 
style it.

[flexcoders] Re: create a thumbnail dynamically from large image using flex

[reygeek]

Here's another method that would allow you to pass in the whole UIComponent.  
Below is an example usage:

public function getUIComponentBitmapData( target:UIComponent, w:Number, 
h:Number ) : BitmapData
{ 
// scale down (or up)
var scaleX:Number = w / target.width;
var scaleY:Number = h / target.height;
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.scale(scaleX, scaleY);

// get new bitmap data
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData( w, h );
bd.draw( target, m );
bd.smoothing = true;

// return the new bitmap data
return bd;  
}



Assume you have var originalImage:Image already set and you want to scale it 
down to 50x30:

var newImage:Image = new Image();
newImage.source = getUIComponentBitmapData( originalImage, 50, 30 );

He shared all you need.  Just pass in bitmap data of your image which I believe 
is the source attribute.

var newImg:Image = new Image();
newImg.source = scaleBitmapData(originalImage.source,width,height);
