[flexcoders] Re: Center Image while rotating and keeping aspect ratio

[Netaman]

Wrote a function to center image it works, it maybe a starting point for you so 
that you can write your own function. using 4.01

            public var oldImage:String;

            private function centerImage(rImage:Image):void {
                
                 
                var capImg:Image = new Image();
                var newImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
                var ch:Number = 0;
                var cw:Number = 0;
                var ih:Number = 0;
                var iw:Number = 0;
                var mX:Number = 0;
                var mY:Number = 0;
                
                capImg = rImage;
                /* the following is to reduce the image flicker in a list using 
an itemrenderer*/
                if (oldImage != null && capImg.source == oldImage)
                    return;
                else
                    oldImage = String(capImg.source);
                
                
                newImage  = new Bitmap(Bitmap(capImg.content).bitmapData);
                
                ch = HEIGHTNUMBER;
                cw = WIDTHNUMBER;
                ih = capImg.content.height;
                iw = capImg.content.width;
                
                if (ih> iw){
                    cw = iw*ch/ih;   
                } else if (ih<iw){
                    ch = ih*cw/iw;  
                }
                
                mX = (WIDTHNUMBER - cw) /2;
                mY = (HEIGHTNUMBER - ch) /2;
                
                capImg.x = mX;
                capImg.y = mY;
                capImg.width = cw;
                capImg.height = ch;
                capImg.source = newImage;  
               
                
            }
