Flash Prototypes: Text Outline

how to use the TextOutLine prototype

1. Import the as_createoutline.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 = "Jaime Murray is absolutely stunning in Hustle";
   	setTextFormat(tfPink);
   }

4. Use the createDropShadow method to add a Drop Shadow

   Specify the Text Format for the outline

   var oTOL = oTF.createOutline(tfBlack);
