Symbol width property inconsistencies with outline

Question

I have discovered some unsettling behavior regarding flash width/height properties with outlined objects.

Here is a photo of my results,

I am puzzled and concerned.

The width of the Symbol in question falls noticeably short of 450, even if you include the stroke-width.

What is happening?

I would greatly appreciate your help?

Note: I am working in CS6 (though viewing the document in the current flash player flash player 14,0,0,125 )

the property inspector gives the width/height of the fill, not the stroke. because 1/2 the stroke is outside the fill and 1/2 inside, actionscript will give the width/height as equal to the fill width/height + the stroke width.

the actual size when measured on-screen will match the actionscript numbers so the properties panel is misleading.
