View 2 RepliesHow 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.

Is there any way to add stroke to a text? I'm quite surprised to have not found anything about this yet.
View 1 RepliesApparently 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.

View 2 RepliesCode:
var myArrow:ArrowMovieClip = new ArrowMovieClip();
var vectorDisplayObject:DisplayObject = stage.addChild( myArrow );
I used the code above to create an instance of an arrow graphic that I made using the line tool (the graphic is embedded in a movie clip). I now want to add different colored fills and different stroke sizes and colors using code. Is it possible to do this with pre-drawn vector graphic objects, or is it only doable if I create the arrow with code using things like lineTo and curveTo?
So I was messing around with JSFL, and I wanted to set the storke to None. That should be done like this:
var stroke = fl.getDocumentDOM().getCustomStroke("toolbar");
stroke.style = "noStroke";
fl.getDocumentDOM().setCustomStroke(stroke);
[Code].....
I get a solid storke with aRGB value: 00 00 00 00 (0 alpha, 0 red, 0 green, 0 blue). (Which normally is impossible using the color-toolbar)
If I execute that command once more, I get the right stroke color! (It also works if I have any normal solid color. If the stroke is a gradient or bitmap, nothing happens).
As I mentioned, there have been NO problems at all with setting things for fills. ONLY strokes.
I need to know how to add a stroke to an object after I have created it.

View 1 RepliesSo 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]

View 2 RepliesI 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;

View 3 RepliesSo 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.

View 3 RepliesI 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?
