Jim Grandy - 02/Nov/05 03:19 PM If this is true, we should update the ref as well: "Setting stretches causes a view to change its coordinate space so that everything it contains (resources and other views) fit exactly into the view's width and/or height. The default for this property is "none". This is used to resize a view's contents by setting its width and/or height" I'll add a doc bug for this.

Antun Karlovac - 20/Jul/06 12:49 PM This is true, and it catches developers out *all* the time. It's extremely frustrating, because there are no warnings or errors thrown. Is there any way we could get this compiler warning added in - and/or maybe even a run-time warning? -Antun

P T Withington - 31/Jan/08 09:02 AM I guess what you are referring to here is that if you have a resource and dimension and stretches, then the resource is scaled to fit the specified dimension. Due to the way SWF works, any subviews will be scaled by the _same_ scaling factor, which is probably not what the user wants or expects. We _could_ fix this, I think, by unscaling the subviews, which is the way things work in DHTML... But, I am also happy to just say you shouldn't do this.

Antun Karlovac - 31/Jan/08 01:45 PM I don't think this is an issue any more. The scaling works now (see my post: http://www.antunkarlovac.com/blog/?p=33). It was a bug before, because things wouldn't scale; they'd just look all wrong.
