Scaling Bug?

1

I’ve recently run across what appears to be a bug in scaling, but I’m not sure.

I have a movie clip class (creating a movie clip in script, then inheriting via the proto method). I built a method to initialize the movie which creates 4 empty clips within it, then loads .JPG’s into each created clip.

When I scale the main movie clip the four JPG’s incorrectly scale with the parent. I checked the _width property of the 4 internal clips, and they show thier original width (13px), yet visually they are scaling the same size as it’s parent.

Has anyone run accross anything like this before?

Someone needs to be shot for that. But thanks for letting me know, helps to know expected behaviour.

You could “hack” your way around it by changing the xScale and yScale settings of the JPGs to compensate for the _parent movie’s x/yScale.
