This is a great example of good movieclip practise. I don't mean to be condescending here, i just think this is important: Like ian's example, if you're building a user interface window that has borders, close and minimize buttons, a drop shadow, all that junk, starting off with an empty movieclip and parenting the contents to that will give you a boatload of benefits, including a more logical inheritance chain when it comes to properties. Being able to scale the background independently of the content is a lovely thing :)

Putting stuff on their own level will save you headaches aplenty.

Create a container movieclip, stick the Slice9 object in as a background,
put the other object in as a sibling to it? So instead of:

Slice9
  +---- MyImportantClip

have

Container
   +---- Slice9
    |
   +---- MyImportantClip
