I have a basic movieclip with a base class of shapes.Box. How can I add graphics to the shape that are larger than the actual shape itself without affecting its mass?

i.e. say I have a box that is 100x100 and I've tuned my game so that the object behaves how I want it to at that size. I want to add something to the box that is say 150x150 around the box, so that its easier to for the user "grab." When I do this however, it obviously changes the box's behavior to gravity, density, etc.

Instead of extending shapes.Box extend BodyShape directly. Then place another shapes.Box symbol inside it.

How can I make one of those shapes.Box's not affect the physics of the body though?
