scaling directions

[mcgrailm]

could someone point me in the right direction please

I want to make an object in flash 9 that is scalable by width or height that has rounded corners but I don't want the corners to get destroyed when I scale I'm fairly certain this can be done but I can't seem to find any instructions on how to go about it

"9 slice scaling" is the process you're looking for.
Search the Flash help; there are videos and explanations on how to implement this in your project.
