can you have 9 slice scaling with object drawn in flash api, not with code?  
i am trying to draw a simple rectangle on stage (200 px wide, 100 px tall, with 2 line stroke), and apply scale to grid but i am getting an error:

ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid

and i really dont know whats wrong…

var slice9rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 180, 80);  
all.scale9Grid = slice9rect;

edit:  
nevermind, the children were causing problems…

also, good read on scale to grid.
