Flash Prototypes: Drop Shadow

how to use the Drop Shadow prototype

1. Import the as_createdropshadow.as ActionScript file
2. Create a movie-clip, and text-area dynamically
   

   var oMC = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("oMC", getNewDepth());
   var oTF = oMC.createTextField("oTF", getNewDepth(), 0, 0, 20, 20);

3. Set text attributes and add the Text Format object
   

   
   with (oTF)
   {
   	autoSize = "left";
   	text = "Zatoichi";
   	setTextFormat(tfPink);
   }

4. Use the createDropShadow method to add a Drop Shadow
   Specify: Text Format, Horizontal Off-Set, Vertical Off-Set

var oDS = oTF.createDropShadow(tfDS0, 3, 2);
