Flash.filters.border

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]is there any built in way to create a border around an existing object on the stage? currently i am using the GlowFilter :

f.filters = new Array(new flash.filters.GlowFilter(0x000000,100,1.1,1.1,5,5,false,false));

[i have to use 1.1 as 1 doesn’t show up and 2 is too big]

…but there is a noticable haze - even on something that small - which i really don’t want.

any ideas?
