Re: [flexcoders] Adding stroke to text or bitmap at runtime
I’m still not sure I understand. Why do you have to add Stroke components? You can just call graphics APIs on them. If you must use components, can you overlay or underlay them in a Group parenting the Label?

Re: [flexcoders] Adding stroke to text or bitmap at runtime
I want to add a stroke (a border or outline) to the *edge* of the text or image itself. For example, the text and the image in this screenshot show what I'd like to do, http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/cafe-racer/retro-cafe-racer-ad.jpg. There are filters that add drop shadow or a glow around the non-transparent pixels (content) of a display object. But no one in the world has been able to create a filter to add a stroke.

Re: [flexcoders] Adding stroke to text or bitmap at runtime
The picture I linked is not that clear. Here is a clearer picture and the article, http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/cafe-racer/13.jpg http://internetwebsitedesign.biz/design/how-to-create-a-retro-cafe-racer-motorcycle-ad-design What he is doing at design time I want to do at runtime.

[flexcoders] Adding stroke to text or bitmap at runtime
How would you add a stroke to dynamic text at runtime? If that's not possible how would you add a stroke to a bitmap (snapshot of text)?
Re: [flexcoders] Adding stroke to text or bitmap at runtime
In Spark controls, you can add children to the TextLine like a sprite.
