Here's another article that might help: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/embedding_assets/
When using Flash assets you can either set the scale9 grids in Flash or you can do it in the Embed in your CSS. I usually use Flash and set the grids in Flash as well. You can edit the scaleGrid by editing the symbol, but make sure when you make the symbol you check the box that says something like "Use 9scale guides". Working with rounded corners you'll want to set the left scaleGrid right after the end of the top left curve, for the right scaleGrid set it right before the top right curve starts, for the top scaleGrid set it right after the top left and top right vertical curve ends, and for the bottom scaleGrid set it before the bottom left and bottom right vertical curves start. The artwork inside that "box" or boundaries will be the content that stretches, while everything outside of it will not. Here's a snippet from LiveDocs that has good visuals of what I'm talking about: livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/00000976.html Hope that helps.
