What scaling functions are used by the BitmapData.draw function for smooth and not smooth drawing?
(Libraries like clevrlib allow for bilinear and bicubic sampling, which suggests that neither is what flash is doing natively.)

A:
According to Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Image Effects by Todd Yard (page 155)
"...the smooth parameter determines whether a scaled up image is smoothed upon scaling. Basically, a value of false, which is the default, will perform a nearest-neighbor algorithm on a pixel, which can result in visible pixelation. A value of true will result in a bilinear algorithm being applied, which calculates new pixel values based on the average value of multiple surrounding pixels."
