I was wondering how to change the shape of a movie clip without altering the size of the border as well. I have a simple rectangle in a movie clip, which has a border. when I change it’s dimensions in any way, the border thickens. How do I prevent this?

click on the border (entire border… that’s double clicking but slowly) and then choose the line width in the property panel
