i am trying to scale a movieclip which has a stroke, and whats happening is that the size of that movieclip is inconsistent with the amount of scale i apply.  
even if i use scale9Grid, the result is still the same.  
note: it only happens if stroke is there, without it, it works fine.

the code is very short, i am setting the mc width and height to the registration point of the rectangle, but the greater scale i apply, the bigger the gap…

why is this happening??

god ■■■■ it, its so frustrating…
