Resize Sprite Flex/ActionScript

Question

Hello,

I am creating Sprite objects as simple shapes, and would like to know how to resize them dynamically.

my question:

How can I enable the Sprite to be re-sized on mouse drag(perhaps enabling a only a portion of the Sprite for this behavior)?

It might be important to note that I am using the Flex SDK, and therefore do not have full access to the Flash libraries.

Thank you in advance.

Doesn't the sprite always adapt itself to its contents to set its height and width? (like movieclips in as2). If you want to resize a sprite, I guess you'd have to draw something as background?

What do you mean by enabling a portion of the sprite to be re-sized?

You might want to check out the Flex Object Handles open source library. Check out the demo to see how it can be used to allow users to resize any object in a Flex app.
