I got this thing to work perfectly under Flex 3 but in Flex 2 which I am targeting for, it breaks.
In Flex 3, the panel's border metrics give me top:30, left:10, right:10, and bottom:10. I am able to get this from PanelSkin. In Flex 2, the panel's border metrics give me top:0, left:0, right:0, and bottom:0. I am able to get this from HaloBorder. I am not entirely sure if this is a bug.
