I have an application that requires resizing of a component that will be scaled

  • 0

I have an application that requires resizing of a component that will be scaled up and down quite frequently. I noticed that when I scale the component, any filter I use on it will not scale with it. I realize this makes sense, but I was wondering if Flex had a tool built in that would allow me to scale the filter with the component. I know I can write some actionscript on a custom component and change the scale of the filter properties based off of the component’s current scale… Any suggestions?

    if you define the filters in mxml they should scale automatically.

    <mx:Canvas width="300" height="300">
  <mx:filters>
    <mx:DropShadowFilter />
  </mx:filters>
</mx:Canvas>

    That should produce a canvas that has a basic drop shadow regardless of its size.
    heres a link to the docs on the various filters: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filters/package-detail.html
