Looks like the flash 9 editor does not allow for the trick of using a bitmap pattern fill for scale9 slicing. Still seems strange to me that they would not encourage working with bitmaps for scale9. I’m happy I did a search, because I was about to write my own class before I came across this post. It does exactly what I wanted it to do: apply scale9 properties to a bitmap. This is something that is really nice about as3, lots more people are building compartmentalized little tools that can just be grabbed and plugged into your project.
