Converted Path to Button Border Allways hidden

Question

A bunch of paths are imported from Illustrator to Flash and converted to Button Symbols. The Stroke is set to Hairline (0.10) Light Gray and the Fill to solid White for all of the paths. When the file loads the Fill colors are provided from an XML file and can be Red/Blue etc. My problem is that the Solid Fill covers/hides the Stroke/borders.
As workaround I copied all paths to another layer placed on top of the symbols layer. So all symbols are behind and the top layer simulates the borders.
Is any way to make the Symbols border to be displayed without having that extra layer? I tried using very Heavy/Thick border setting but still the fill is hiding it.

Ned,
Thank you immensely for looking into this. It took me a couple of extra days to try few things. Here are my latest findings:
I have no problem at all running the file. Everything is as intended except the buttons borders.
If I preview the output/movie into Flash or Browser I can see the buttons borders. It doesn’t matter if the color is the original White fill or any other color.
If I include the file in the ASP page I also can see the borders when the XML file is empty (each button is a room on a floor plan and when the SQL query returns no room then no button is re-painted) and all rooms stay (again) the original White fill.
If any room is found and the button is repainted then the borders disappear. This made me think that the buttons are not re-painted the correct way. Here are the few lines of code involved in the process:
for each (var Zone:XML in myXML.zone)
            var ColorUp:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
            ColorUp.color = Zone.@up;
            var ColorOver:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
            ColorOver.color = Zone.@over;
            for each (var btn:XML in Zone.room)
                        myButton = getChildByName("btn_" + btn.@number);                                
                        if (myButton != null)
                                    myButton.upState.transform.colorTransform = ColorUp;
                                    myButton.downState.transform.colorTransform = ColorUp;
                                    myButton.overState.transform.colorTransform = ColorOver;
Thank you again!
