How do I add a stroke to text in Flex 4? Specifically I'd like to add it to a Label (the text will change in it).
The closest solution suggested has been to add a drop shadow filter as shown below. I've added a rectangle with a stroke for comparison. If the stroke weight is between 2 to 3 it's acceptable. If it's above or below that then it's too blurry or rough. In my case I need to support 2 to 6 weight.
A follow up question would be is it possible to create a stroke filter through Pixel Bender.

Apparently you can add stroke to text dynamically. Therefore how can I produce a score text with stroke around the numbers. Would I have to create the ten numbers in photoshop or in flash breaking apart and using the ink bottle and simply call them as required. ie: 10 seconds calls in the 1 and the 0 shape mimicking a real timer. Adds more for the cpu to do but looks wonderful. What do angry birds or anything similar do.
I have set up the the user clicks a key and gives me the output of what they clicked however how do I put it into a dynamic text field.I am having trouble with the AS3 code for it.Here is what I have so far.

So I like the whole convert stroke to fill option in the Modify menu, but what if I want to apply a stroke to a fill?
In other words, if I created a circle, then delete the stroke, is there any way to the regenerate the stroke? I mean, if I press A I can see the contours of the fill - can I just turn that into a stroke? In the properties menu, if I click on stroke (which as its colour has the white box with a red diagonal line) it's all greyed out. Am I missing something obvious?
I'm trying to create a simple coloring book app and I've got it mostly working based on tutorials and code I've found on the web. I'm using an array for my color swatches and I'm trying to add a stroke but it's not working. The markers in the array are based on a symbol called "Colours".[code]
I have a series of previously created rectangles, all with a lineStyle(stoke), but later, when in the program, I highlight them via colorTranform with MOUSE_OVER, and and return the color back to its previous state with MOUSE_OUT, and try to re-apply the lineStyle, it returns the color, but not the lineStyle.
Here is my code: function highlightSquare(e:MouseEvent) { if (building == true) { transform1.color = 0x00CCFF; var temp1 = e.currentTarget; temp1.transform.colorTransform = transform1; [Code] .....
I'm having a hard time with strokes. First I selected a stroke and the properties panel would not let me change it's thickness. How to add a stroke to an object. We used to have a tool that allowed us to apply a stroke to an object. That is gone now. How we attach a line to an object now?? It looks like Adobe has changed Flash CS4 to be more like Photoshop. It is about as intuitive as a tax form.
So we're sitting here at the studio trying to figure out how to use the pen tool without a stroke. We do most of the work in Illustrator, then paste it in Flash. Unfortunately, some objects sometimes disappear while breaking the object down, which means that we have to do some actual touchup work in Flash.
I was wondering how I can add stroke to my images, I want tohave a white border (3 pixel) around my images and I am calling myimages from a image folder with a TXT or XML file. Is there a wayto add the stroke to them using AS3 so it automatically applies thestroke to all my images?
how can I assign the stroke to my LineSeries, programmatically in Actionscript ?<mx:LineSeries stroke="{new Stroke(0xCC33CC, 2)}"/>How is it in Actionscript? LineSeries.stroke doesn't exist
Is there an easy way to add a stroke to a geometric shape other than a modified glow filter? Say you draw a series of points and fill it in so you have a star pattern, how would you go about adding a 1px or 2px stroke to it?
As the title says. How do I add a stroke or outline to the images loaded by my XML? I need to create a hover state and selected state. So when I rollover my images there is a blue stroke that goes around the image. I created a new movieClip called newHover and I thought I could add it using my loaders mouseout and mouseover events but the loader class doesn't support do that.Maybe adding a movieClip that has the stroke isn't the way to work this. how to accomplish this.
ActionScript Code: //floor color1 var cityPic:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
I have a Shape object called myShape which contains exactly one rectangle.Is there a way to know the stroke and fill styles of myShape? I want to get the fill color, fill alpha, stroke color, stroke alpha and stroke thickness of the rectangle in myShape.
I would like to know if there is a way of maintain the stroke size whilst resizing my object with actionscript.I have an object that imported from Illustrator with a 7pt stroke and would like that stroke to maintain its aspect even when resized to 10%
Is there a way to draw a line with graphics.lineTo() that is thinner than 1point? According to the documentation the thinnest lineStyle possible should be 0 but I cannot see any difference between a 0 stroke and a 1 stroke?
In Flash CS4, I'm trying to change the stroke width of my line or shape, with it selected, but the stroke width slider is greyed out (thus, unadjustable). Is it possible to edit a stroke width after something has been created? If so, how can this be done? I've tried selecting the line in all kinds of crazy ways, but still can't edit it.
I have a button that I use universally to show a hover state, so that the user knows the item is clickable. The hover state is a simple black stroke. Because the buttons with the timeline are of different sizes, I stretch the button to encapsulate the entire area I want to be linked. However, the stoke of the hover state is stretched too, so it's get thicker the bigger I make it. Is there any way to ensure the stroke is always the same weight?
i have a MC of a circle with a stroke i motiontweened the circle to scale larger, but the stroke is scaling up proportionally..is there any way to maintain stroke weight when motiontween-upscaling a shape? just when i think i'm on a roll with this program, i'm stumped like every 30min.s,
Under the stroke properties before or after I draw a line, I set it to NORMAL but when I re-select the line, it keeps changing it back to NONE. Some how it is now the default and I cannot change it I have tried opening new documents from scratch but I still cannot get it back to scale normally. All the lines are inside movie clips and these movie clips need to scale properly. I cannot seem to find any other answers besides telling me what I have already tried.If I change the line type from solid to dotted, it then scales (actually you cannot change the scale mode.
I've added some movieclips using addChild and it was working perfectly, and then the next day I loaded it back up and now only an outline, which I guess is the stroke part of the movieclip, is loaded and my collision detection using hitTestPoint also quit working on them.If I instead use gotoAndStop in place of stop and use frame 3 or later then it shows the proper frame and the collision detection starts working again.
I am trying to draw a hairline stroke 200 px long like in the picture (3 colors). I have tried with this but i am not getting the same results: Code: var s:Sprite = new Sprite(); s.graphics.lineStyle(0 ); s.graphics.lineGradientStyle("linear", [0x111111, 0xcccccc,0x111111], [100,100,100], [0,128,255]); s.graphics.lineTo(200,0); addChild(s);
How would I go about cutting a transparent hole into a Graphic and leaving a stroke around the hole I just made (similar to if I had used the Eraser tool on the Flash canvas, minus the stroke)? My first instinct tells me to draw a circle over the spot I want to "cut out" with a stroke of an arbitrary width and an alpha-less fill, but if I were to click-and-drag this hole - or simply make another overlapping hole for that matter (again, as if I were using the Eraser tool), the stroke would definitely not appear the way I want it to. If anyone is familiar with how the terrain is blown away in the 2D Worms series, that is more or less what I am going for.
I want to create a 1px stroke around the thumbnails in flash with actionscript. after browsing a gallery , is it possible to hide the "next" button? The same in the begining, is it possible to hide the "previous" button on photo 1/10?
