I think you just want minWidth/minHeight=0, no width/height attributes, or maxWidth/Height attributes.
Keep in mind that loading is asynchronous and the measuredWidth/Height are not valid until after the image loads. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Amy Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 3:16 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Constraining image size Hi, all; I have the situation where I have an image control I am using in a component. I want the image to be able to be as big as it can up to the actual file size, so I have given the image control a width of 100%, scalecontent = true, maintainaspectratio=true. However, this is only _close_ to what I want it to do. What I _actually_ want it to do is to scale the content only if the content needs to be scaled _down_ to fit in the container. Otherwise, I want it to max out at the natural width of the image, so I don't get nasty pixellated images. I've tried using this: <mx:Image id="imgCtrl" maintainAspectRatio="true" source="{'images/'+_img}" scaleContent="true" height="100%" width="100%" maxWidth="{imgCtrl.measuredWidth}" completeEffect="Fade" verticalAlign="bottom" horizontalAlign="center" /> but the image fails to appear, presumably because somehow the measuredWidth is 0. Any ideas? Thanks; Amy
