Flash Tutorial - Using Filters

Free Flash Tutorial

Flash 8 Pro comes with some great Filters. These can be applied to text, images or other graphics. You can do this either whilst you are editing the Flash Movie or on the fly with ActionScript. Here is what Flash 8 help says:

Graphics Effects Filters: You can apply graphics Filters to objects on the Stage.
