Re: [flexcomponents] Re: Canvas dropShadow

[Firdosh Tangri]

doesnt the Canvas have a dropShadow Style applied to it like the Panel Class
has a dropShadow by default

which is why I added
aboutMe.setStyle("dropShadowEnabled",true);

aboutMe.setStyle("shadowDistance",3);
aboutMe.setStyle("shadowDirection","right");

thanks

You can add a DropShadowFilter to the canvas as long as it has a
background:

import flash.filters.*;
...
aboutMe.filters = [ new DropShadowFilter() ];
