Creating Very Big images from Flex

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a small image manipulator. In which I am having Some image in background and then I am adding other
images, text etc. to it and capturing bitmapdata of the entire canvas and saving the image at the server side. Now my issue is that I want to convert those images (created from flex bitmapdata via byteArray ) to very large images i.e. in the dimenstions of the feets.Can any body suggest how to acheive this.As i tried to scale the bitmapdata the quality gets down repildly. And again there is the limiations of the size in bitmap data,and hence my am far enough from my
actual requirement.
Thnx in Advance,

This code works:
public class ImagePanel extends JPanel
Image bufferedImage;
Image grass;
//grass image is loaded up here;
public void paint(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          bufferedImage = createImag(15*increm,14*increm);
          Graphics bufferedGraphics = bufferedImage.getGraphics();
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 0, 0, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 32,32, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 64,64, this);
          g.drawImage(bufferedImage, 0, 0, this);
However this code does not:
public class ImagePanel extends JPanel
Image bufferedImage;
Image grass;
//grass image is loaded up here;
public void setUpImage()
bufferedImage = createImag(15*increm,14*increm);
          Graphics bufferedGraphics = bufferedImage.getGraphics();
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 0, 0, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 32,32, this);
          bufferedGraphics.drawImage(grass, 64,64, this);
public void paint(Graphics g)
setUpImage();
          super.paintComponent(g);
          g.drawImage(bufferedImage, 0, 0, this);
I want to have a method that sets the image up so I can move it around, add to it, take away from it, etc. that is what I want setUpImage() to do. I can't figure out why it works if I do it the first way and not the second way.
