ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Holds the matrix and the convenience transform properties (x, y, and rotation). The compoundTransform is only created when the matrix property is set.

fillMode

property

fillMode:String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 4

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Determines how the bitmap fills in the dimensions. If you set the value of this property in a tag, use the string (such as "repeat"). If you set the value of this property in ActionScript, use the constant (such as BitmapFillMode.CLIP). When set to BitmapFillMode.CLIP ("clip"), the bitmap ends at the edge of the region. When set to BitmapFillMode.REPEAT ("repeat"), the bitmap repeats to fill the region. When set to BitmapFillMode.SCALE ("scale"), the bitmap stretches to fill the region.

The default value is BitmapFillMode.SCALE.
