how do you flip an image component?

when I scale one axis negatively the image no longer show up, instead it’s a red cross

Have you tried using the Rotation on the Rect Transform?

Rotation doesn’t flip
What do you have in mind?

I guess I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish then, because for me rotation does flip. Can you elaborate more on what you’re seeing and what you want it to look like when flipped with an image example?

oh I see what you mean: “rotate 180 degrees in the Y axis and get the complimentary angle in the Z axis” it works.
In fact entering negative values in Y-scaling also works. Does it break batching like with 3D geometry in builtin?

The answer to that I don’t know, sorry!
