Re: [flexcoders] shadow lighting
Title: Re: [flexcoders] shadow lighting Also, it appears youre trying to apply these styles to a canvas. Note that to do so, youll also need to set the borderStyle of the canvas to solid (you can set the thickness to zero, if you dont actually want to see a border). If thats not enough for you, you can also use flash filters, examples of which can be found here: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mc/archives/2006/05/beyond_styling.cfm -peter On 7/12/06 6:08 PM, Jason Szeto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hank, There are a few basic things you can do to style the drop shadows.

Re: [flexcoders] shadow lighting
Thanks guys. Those are great examples. With filters you can *really* make apps look unflexlike -lol.The great power of flex is how easy it is to do this stuff. The one downfall for people that are not careful is that all of their apps will look like aero. Although I guess thats ok, Mac users dont have a problem with all their apps looking the same. But anyway the chiseled text in a label I was just looking at how to do the other day and I hadnt gotten it yet so this is right on time.RegardsHankOn 7/13/06, Peter Baird [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also, it appears you're trying to apply these styles to a canvas.

Re: [flexcoders] shadow lighting
I would sayif you know what you are going after, EVERYTHING in Flex can be skinned with your custom styles and layers. Make custom skin sets. If you read what Adobe has said quite a bit, they designed these components for extensibility and thus, some things are not implemented and are left up to the developer to extend. Which when you get deeper into the years with Flex, you will thank Adobe for taking that path.
