Eric, if you're saying you want to manipulate the first and last 15% of a display object without creating anything else, I don't think that's possible. The closest I can think of that will accomplish that is using a displacement map filter in conjunction with resizing. That might get you what you need, but you'll still have to create the displacement map.
Another way to do this is to create and destroy other objects but within the main object. At least that way you won't have to worry about moving, rotating, etc., four slices. You could use BitmapData, for example, create the four slices and add them inside the same do, allowing you to manipulate only slices 1 and 4, but still treat the entire d.o. as a single entity.
