Are you sizing the assets directly or are they wrapped by Image or something like that? I don't think scale9 is recursive.

We reference several of these references and the designer has applied scale-9 to each of the symbols - but when it comes to viewing them in Flex, the scale-9 doesn't work (it just stretches normally).

If so, I don't believe scale-9 will punch through to those bitmaps in either scenario. You would have to pull those bitmaps out of the Flash file as separate assets. Regarding the arrow getting stretched, are you using Flex 2? The reason I ask is because in Flex 2 the arrow icon has to be part of the ComboBox, thus it will stretch even with scale-9 applied to it. You could try to change this by setting both vertical scale grids above o below the arrow. However, if you are using rounded corner those would end up getting stretched. Other wise you might have to create different skins for ComboBoxes with different heights. I believe the issue is being resolved in Flex 3 with a new property called arrowIcon making the icon separate from the skin so the skin scales separately from the arrowIcon. I'm not sure about the ScrollBars. I've found that sometime adjusting the scale grids on the ScrollBar arrow skins can fix the issue.
