Thanks for reply, but i guess that's not exactly what I need. I'm making resize frame, so I just need to stick 4 corners in they positions and sides at full height. So this is not exactly skinning thing. And i don't think this is custom scale9, custom would be if I would resize all objects scriptically within resize handler which is other option. All I am trying to do is just apply Rectangle to scale9Grid property, not big deal. but it doesn't work somehow.

It sounds like you're creating a custom scale9 which isn't necessary. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_skins_07.html (best article yet for skinning; that I've read, at least) That page shows you how to use CSS to utilize scale9. Hope it helps...
