I have uploaded a test \*\*[here](http://fuglefjellet.no/concepts/scale9/)

\*\*

```auto
a2.width = 300;
a2.height = 300;
b2.width = 300;
b2.height = 300;

```

Both clips in library have scale9grid enabled, but it just wont apply to the imported bitmap, just vector.

If there is no way around it, I cant imagine it is too hard to write a custom class that applies scale9grid to the bitmap aswell, maybe someone know if it has been made already?

trace(a1.scale9Grid); and chop the bitmapdata manually?
