Hi,

I m developing flex application, in which I want to Draw Image from User local hard-drive to the canvas of size 640x360.

User can choose Image of bigger resolution & is scaled to Canvas size.

But if user selected images of larger resolution like 3000x2000, the scaling take lot time & freezes the application until scale done.

Is there any method to scale image faster or kind of threading can be done?

I am using matrix to scale Image as below:

    var mat:Matrix = new Matrix();
    var scalex:Number = canvasScreen.width/content.width;
    var scaley:Number = canvasScreen.height/content.height;
    mat.scale(scalex,scaley);           

    canvasScreen.graphics.clear();      
    canvasScreen.graphics.beginBitmapFill(content.bitmapData,mat);
