[Laszlo-dev] how do you scale a view?

[Henry Minsky]

Note, for this special case, I could try to smash the scales directly on the
view's movieclip, and then restore them (or not bother if this was an
offscreen view). I was just trying to figure out how to do it without going
down to the MovieClip API.

var mc = myview.getMCRef();
var sx = mc._xscale;
var sy = mc._yscale;

mc._xscale = 50;
mc._yscale = 50;

printjob.addPage(mc, {xMin: 0, yMin: 0, xMax: 1024, yMax: 100000},
{printAsBitmap: false}));

mc._xscale = sx;
mc._yscale = sy;
