High resolution bitmap quality issue after scaling

Question

In AIR application I am loading bitmap as BorderContainers background image with BitmapFillMode.SCALE. I am smoothing Bitmapdata.

original bitmap dimension: 5100 x 7014 scaling it to 595 x 841.

but background quality was lost.

any solutions?

actual image

scaled Image

any workarounds? Im using Flex 4.5

Answer 1

Solved : There is a limitation for bitmap resolution in Flashplayer earlier versions.

so I used Apache flex 4.9.1 sdk which supports flashplayer 11.1.

I used spark.primitives.BitmapImage and set smoothingQuality=BitmapSmoothingQuality.HIGH
