Hi,
I'm a Flash developer, and I have a lot of graphical content stored in my
Flash project libraries that I intend to integrate into my Flex project. I've
downloaded the extension that allows me to export a swc as a Flex component.
That all works fine, but I can't seem to scale the objects properly
(specifically using the scaleX and scaleY).

From what I can gather the reason why has to do with the way Flex handles
content in it's individual containers, but I still can't seem to grasp how I
can get my graphics to scale to the size I need them.

There are probably over a hundred MovieClip objects (linked to AS3 classes for
controlling their appearance and behavior) in my .fla libraries that I need to
use, but this is a major obstacle right now. I realize it is going to be
tedious to convert them all over to Flex components, but the graphics are
required for the app.

I know I can't be the only one to try to do this, but I'm at a loss for how to
get this accomplished. I haven't been using Flex that long, so if this is a
stupid question, I apologize.

Any guidance on where I can find out what to do would be appreciated.

Adding the attached override to the class that is connected to the Flash symbol
seems to resolve this.



override public function setActualSize(newWidth:Number, newHeight:Number):void
{
_width = newWidth;
_height = newHeight;
}
