thanks for the tip lucas, although I do not
really understand, why you split it into 4 images.
can't I just scale the sprite up, take the image
of the stage and go with that ?
of course I then need to enlarge the stage, but
since this is for SW deployment I'll need to have
an 'invisible' part of the stage anyway.

in my case the only downside would be the
clumsyness of the big stage. since I would only
do it offscreen and performance is not that much
of an issue, since a still picture is to be
displayed and it doesn't matter, if it takes a
second to get to it.
many thanks for the hints, lucas
