I sent off an e-mail to some people at adobe and got back confirmation that there's a bug with scale-9 clips in Flex and Flash... Clips that are made with flash cs3 seem to not respect their scale9 settings right.
Has anybody been able to successfully scale-9 a movieclip withe a png in it in Flash CS3 and then import in flex, or just use in Flash? Or, has anybody been able to use scaleGrid with pngs? I'm a little stumped on this one, and I'll have slice up my images to do this and code my work around on this one i guess. Thanks, Patrick
