9-slice scaling? Help!

[#1]

When I open up a CS3 file with my CS5 version I get this error.

"Illustrator now honers 9 -slice scaling of symbols. Any scaling done on symbol instance with 9-slice scaling option in legacy version will look different now. Do you want to retain the 9-sclice scaling option for symbols?"

I click on the yes button. But what does this all mean?

When I do enter in this file it is distorted. How do I change the legacy so that it will reflect the origional file.

[#2]

Please post an example of your distorted artwork.

It is actually a test that I am doing i just don't think it is supose to look like this.

It is a color mix test I am supose to fill in the stripes.

[#4]

What exactly is the symbol in that file? How is that constructed?

Did you read the manual on 9-slice-scaling?

[#5]

I don't know what the symbol is and how it was constructed.
I did not read the manual on 9 - slice- scaling

when I double click on one of the distorted lines no symbol option pops up in the symbols pannel.

Please do that first.

It's crucial that you understand what this function is all about.
