Read the below link, it may give an insight as to why your scaling isn't working.
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Scale9+in+FXG also you could try the below http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/9-slice_scaling.html http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb406044&slice Id=2 I'd also recommend trying CS4 (if you haven't already) as I was creating custom components in CS3 flash for flex but I was always getting unexplained errors. Something along the line of 'publish -> test -> works fine' , 'add line of code -> publish -> test -> fails', 'remove line of code -> publish -> test -> fails!' Tested same code in CS4 at it always works. So maybe worth a try (the errors I got suggested it was to do with the way the SWC was generated, so whenever I need a swc from flash I'd recommend CS4) HTH Kenneth.

Kiefer Sent: 20 February 2009 10:52 To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] Slice / Scale 9 Flex Skins don't scale Dear all, we have some Flex Skins made in Flash exported as swc, as described in this article: http://devote.your.life.auricom.com/?p=70. We have Bitmaps in the Skins and the Bitmaps don't scale in Flex. We import the skins as artwork in Flex. It seems that we have encountered a bug which is described here: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15575. Does anybody knows a solution or a workaround in order to get bitmapped skins to scale in Flex? Any help is highly appreciated!
