I have write a simple example that adds a canvas and draw a rectangle with stroke size 20 scale mode none. The problem is that if I call getBounds() first time I will get a correct result but after I call scale(); the getBounds() function will give me a wrong result. It will take in cosideration the stroke but stroke has scalemode to none and on the screen nothing happens but in the result I will have a x value smaller. Can sombody tell me how can I fix this ? protected var display :Canvas; protected function addCanvas():void { display = new Canvas(); display.x = display.y = 50; display.width = 100; display.height = 100; display.graphics.clear(); display.graphics.lineStyle( 20, 0x000000, 0.5, true, LineScaleMode.NONE ); display.graphics.beginFill( 0xff0000, 1 ); display.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100); display.graphics.endFill(); area.addChild( display ); traceBounce(); } protected function scale():void { var m :Matrix = display.transform.matrix; var apply :Matrix = new Matrix(); apply.scale( 2, 1 ); apply.concat( m ); display.transform.matrix = apply; traceBounce(); } protected function traceBounce():void { trace( display.getBounds( this ) ); }
