I am looking to take a DO (movieclip), and stretch just the side edges,
leaving the middle unstretched... so take an image, cut in 4 vertical
pieces, and stretch the outside pieces out horizontally by like 15%.
I could use DisplayObjects above the main one and just stretch those
horizontally, but
Eric, if you're saying you want to manipulate the first and last 15% of a
display object without creating anything else, I don't think that's
possible. The closest I can think of that will accomplish that is using a
displacement map filter in conjunction with resizing. That might get you
what you
While I don't seem to be able to do this easily, I am applying scale9grid to
sorta do what I want. I was hoping for incremental stretching on the
sides... maybe that is something I'll be able to do using a hydra filter or
something in FP10.

Maybe this will work?
Make two copies of the original MovieClip (if you're loading an image,
load it once into the first clip, then when it's done loading, load it
into the two others) for a total of three.
Mask the left and right pieces to the width you want to show. Mask the
middle
That was going to be an approach... and I would apply the stretch to the
sides loaded in on top by hand in Photoshop (cementing the effect -- bad
voodoo there). Then I thought it might be cool to do it using the BitmapData
class somehow instead so I didn't need to worry about any cleanup, etc. as
You can almost certainly write a Hydra filter for this. You can do it
AS-native with BitmapData.
9-slice scaling can't do what you're hoping for, as I understand it. It will
only scale the top and bottom centers when scaling left and right, the
left and right centers when scaling up and down, the
crud. anyone remember how to load a filter? ;)

Eric, I know this isn't the root of what you were asking, but here's a class
by Thibault Imbert that brings 9-slice scaling to bitmaps. Not on point, but
