9-slice scaling

essential for web graphics
9-slice scaling is useful only when applied to symbols that will be viewed with the Flash Player (as SWF).
Since it’s an effect applied in the Flash Player, you won’t be able to preview the result of a 9-slice scale unless you’re viewing your art in the Flash Player.


1. f8 - define a symbol
2. Enable Guides for 9-slice scaling. The symbol must be defined as a Movie Clip (Figure 1).

 you can preview the proper 9-slice scale result by checking Enable Live Preview from the Control menu.




4 guides create 9 different regions on the screen

middle - both horizontally and vertically

upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right are all areas that do not scale at all.
