title: AS3/FP9 - Resize a Sprite
body: <p>I've loaded a JPG with dimensions 3264x2448 into a Sprite.  How can I resize it proprtionally to allow meto draw the Sprite into a BitmapData object (which in CS3/Flash Player 9 is limited to 2880 height or width). My goal is to use the Soulwire  [DisplayUtils][1] to create a thumbnail.  Here is the code that works fine with other, smaller, Sprites:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(jpgSprite.width, jpgSprite.height, true, 0x00FFFFFF);
  bmpd.draw( jpgSprite );
  
  var thumb:Bitmap = DisplayUtils.createThumb( bmpd, 100, 100, Alignment.MIDDLE, true);
  addChild( thumb );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thanks for your suggestions.</p>
