Adding outline of text or MovieClip in Flash with AS3
As you probably know there is no such kind of option. We should deal with a little AS3 code.
The solution is to add glow filter to the DisplayObject (i.e. TextField or MovieClip). I wrapped the code in one simple function:
public static
function addOutline(obj: * , color: uint, thickness: int = 2): void {
var outline: GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
outline.blurX = outline.blurY = thickness;
outline.color = color;
outline.quality = BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH;
outline.strength = 100;
var filterArray: Array = new Array();
filterArray.push(outline);
obj.filters = filterArray;
}
