Let me introduce the new version of ScaleBitmap :

ScaleBitmap V2 Illustration

I have totally rewritten ScaleBitmap to suit my needs :

The outer drawing & ScaleBitmapSprite allows you to :

Usage 1 : ScaleBitmap

ScaleBitmap.draw(
bitmap : BitmapData, // the bitmap source
graphic:Graphics, // the destination graphic
width:Number, // width (defined by outer rectangle if not null)
height:Number, // height (defined by outer rectangle if not null)
inner : Rectangle, // inner rectangle for scale 9
outer : Rectangle=null // outer rectangle : visual size reference
):void

If outer is not null, ScaleBitmap use a negative offset for drawing (according to outer properties)
If outer is null, ScaleBitmap works as a classic Scale9 grid drawer

Usage 2 : ScaleBitmapSprite

ScaleBitmapSprite(
bitmap : BitmapData, // the bitmap source
inner : Rectangle, // inner rectangle for scale 9
outer : Rectangle=null) // outer rectangle : visual size reference

var s:ScaleBitmapSprite=new ScaleBitmapSprite(mySkin, new Rectangle(20,20,80,20), new Rectangle(15,15,90,30));
addChild(s);
s.width=80;
s.height=40;</a>

ScaleBitmapSprite override public size setter & getter : you can move & resize a ScaleBitmapSprite object without taking care of bitmap outer drawing.

Simple MyButton class using ScaleBitmapSprite (click the button) :

Some of you prefer gist, so as possible, I will share my new projects via gist.

Hope this class help & merry Xmas to bytearray readers.

[EDIT 2010-05-18]

A new version 1.1 is available !

Jerôme Decoster, a talented french developer have made a lot of improvements in this new version :

• smooth support
• invalidation for ScaleBitmapSprite
• code optimization
• inner drawing correction

So many thanks to you Jerôme
