scale9grid on mask object

programming flash
1

i can’t make this work for some reason :expressionless:


masking = new Sprite(); // declared outside method...
masking.graphics.beginFill(0x111111, 0.75);
masking.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 75, 15, 5, 5);
masking.graphics.endFill();
  addChild(masking);
masking.scale9Grid = new Rectangle(5, 5, 65, 5);
this.mask = masking; // this extends Sprite...

…if I don’t apply mask, scaling works great, but when I do scaling is wrong… Any ideas what might be a problem?
