[flexcomponents] Scale9 issue with embed images in a swf

[Firdosh Tangri]

Hey all,
            I was wondering if someone has come accross this issue. If I
embed an image in my flex application via css like this

upSkin: Embed("myImage.jpg",

scaleGridTop=5,scaleGridBottom=20,scaleGridLeft=23,scaleGridRight=72);

It works fine

but say I have this image in a swf file created using Flash CS3 , where I
embed the image in a Movieclip and apply scale9 inside flash the image
doesnt work

does flex do some extra work on a bitmapData level behind the scenes for the
image scaling to work ??

thanks
cheers
