How Do I Add a Background to MultiScaleImage?

Thanks. I'll have to see if I can get a standalone example together. For now I think I'm going to resort to rendering the background into the image tiles.

You can load an SVG as a Sprite like this:

[Embed(source="Some.svg")]
[Bindable] public var earth:Class;
...
var sprite:Sprite = new earth() as Sprite;

Now, I already add an empty Sprite on top of the multiscale image in order to draw onto it and that works fine. I understand how to convert between the three coordinate spaces (my image, the scene, and local) and all is well. However when I try to add the SVG sprite as a background things get wonky. I try setting the sprite.width and sprite.height to something reasonable but it doesn't work... the whole scene gets skewed. If the sprite is much smaller than the scene it sort of appears to work, but as it approaches the size of the scene the multiscale image shrinks and the sprite appears too large and offset... I really don't know what it's doing.

I have also tried setting the sprite's scaleX and scaleY instead of width and height, but to the same effect. I also tried adding the SVG to a Canvas and then adding that to the multiscale image, but that doesn't appear at all for some reason.

I read in one of your posts that UIComponents don't work as renderers... Maybe this is stemming from that?

I haven't dug that far into the container yet. Are there any docs or examples that would help me understand how to use those components?

thanks,
