I can theorize 2 workarounds.
1. Break the image into a fill and put the various pieces (corners and whatnot)
on different layers so they don't think they're part of the same fill.
2. Trace the image down to pixels.
The first will probably fail on the stretched pieces because it's using the
image as a fill, and expanding the filled area will only expose more of the
image rather than stretching it.
The second is not recommended if you have a large and/or complex image.

yup João your right, I was wondering if anyone had figured out a workaround it
I can see many people have reported it as a bug, hopefully adobe will find a
good solution to it.

I think this only applies to symbols made with vector shapes. For bitmaps, this
doesn't work as supposed.
9-slice works for embed bitmaps using metadata on Flex 2, but it doesn't work
for bitmaps on Flash CS3.
I don't know if this is a bug, or if there's a valid reason for it, but it's a
feature i definitely miss...

If the embedded asset is set up with 9-slice scaling (in Flash), Flex will
automatically pick up on it without any fancy metatags.

Subject: [flexcomponents] Embed components from swf with scale9 into flex
Hey guys,
so in Flex if I do a
upSkin: Embed("MyPng",
scaleGridTop=5,scaleGridBottom=20,scaleGridLeft=23,scaleGridRight=72);
and specify how to scale the image.
Now if I have the same image embeded in a swf file with some linkage id myImage
upSkin: Embed(source ="MyPngSWF.swf", symbol="myImage");
is it possible to tell flex somehow how to scale this asset ??..
thanks
cheers
