Invalid position of image when using href within tag versus embedded image.

[MitchellAJ]

When I define an image tag and use ( xlink:href="myimage.png" ) as an attribute, the resulting image is not positioned correctly according to the x and y specified in the tag.

I briefly reviewed the code (SVGImage.as) and added the x and y positioning as follows:

   public function loadURL(url:String):void
    {
        if (_loader != null)
        {
            content.removeChild(_loader);
            _loader = null;
        }

        if (url != null)
        {
            _loader = new Loader();
            _loader.x = int(svgX); // ADDED
            _loader.y = int(svgY); // ADDED
            _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
            _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
                                                       loadError);
            _loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
            content.addChild(_loader);
        }
    }

This does appear to correct the issue, but is it the right solution?

After looking at more code, I'm sure it is not the right spot, but where is the issue?

My problem:

added preserveAspectRatio="none" to the image tag and it positions correctly.
