some aspects of how Panel gets its borders changed in 3.0. The algorithm will have to be different, but still should be doable. There might be a timing issue as to when you ask. I don't remember the details right now.

In Flex 3, the panel's border metrics give me top:30, left:10, right:10, and bottom:10. I am able to get this from PanelSkin. In Flex 2, the panel's border metrics give me top:0, left:0, right:0, and bottom:0. I am able to get this from HaloBorder. I am not entirely sure if this is a bug.
