Make a layer that won't be affected by camera?

Question

I am using the camera in my scene. However, I would like to have a 1px black border around the whole thing, which won't move when the camera moves. How would I do this?Thanks!

Make your outline the same size as your stage. Convert it to a movieclip and Create a Motion Tween for that layer. Add your camera. Create a Motion Tween for the Camera. Add your motion to the Camera. Copy Motion. Paste Motion on the border. Voila.

I don't see a way to do it at the moment. There is a feature request page here:

Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Before you fill in a request, can I give you more ideas that you could include in your request? In 3D there's the concept of a camera overlay and backdrop. Your request is the simplest example of a camera overlay. The request could be to support both backdrops and overlays. Imagine if you could apply a movieclip as the overlay layer of the camera, then you could have scaling and rotating animations, happening underneath a static UI.
