SkinnableContainer returns Group when typed

Question

I have a SkinnableContainer that is added as a wrapper when a visualelement is added to a group: (heres the code i use to add it
public override function addElement(element:IVisualElement):IVisualElement
     var r:ResizerComponent = new ResizerComponent(); //This is the SkinnableContainer
     r.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onMouseDown);
     r.x = element.x;
     r.y = element.y;
     element.x = element.y = 0;
     r.addElement(element);
     var newElement:IVisualElement = super.addElement(r);
     return newElement;
     function onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
          var g:Group = event.target as Group;
          if (selectable)
               if (!r.selected)
                    r.select(); //If i reference r here, it is the correct component
It "should" add the element to the resizer, and the resizer as the original element to the parent control. It works to a point, however if i try to call a function that should return the ResizerComponent, it comes out typed as a Group. (for instance, the function onMouseDown returns the event.target as a Group, which should be ResizerComponent).
As is, if i reference the variable r, i can call the correct functions; as an example above, i called r.select();
Am I wrong in how I believe this works? is there another way I can try to do this?
I am attempting to make an illustrator-like selection box appear around any object in the parent container (complete with arrows and extent border)... i can get the border to appear, but preforming other events becomes a problem if i can't type things correctly)
A screenshot of what shows up before and after pressing the object is shown below

HI,
Whenever we print the viewer does an auto postback, I believe due to this some of the values are getting missed. Moreover we are referring to the viewer and reportdocument object, it seems. So can you try this simple code in an application to see if it helps:
ReportDocument rdoc = new ReportDocument();
rdoc.Load("C:\TASKECrystalReports\Intraday.rpt");
rdoc.SetDatabaseLogon("uid","pwd");
rdoc.SetParameterValues("parameter name","value");
CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rdoc;
Helps?
Thanks.
