What I am trying to do is to create a graphic or movieclip, something that I can resize and change the colors of the “fill” section to act as somekind of panel for content. The panel needs to have a border with a decent amount of thickness to it. Here is what I am working on:[http://www.redlinestudio.com/ia/who.html](http://www.redlinestudio.com/ia/who.html)  
Right now I have to manually adjust each border.

The way I created the element is that I drew the rounded rectangle with border. then seperated and turned each into an MC so that I could use tint to change the color inside. I then grouped them so that way I can reuse the item for each piece in hopes to save file size. I hope that I am making sense. I would also like to be able to do the same method with boxes. Also on the rounded corner one, is there a way that I would be able to scale the item without the rounded corners elongating?

Thanks Much
