DropShadowFilter constructor

public DropShadowFilter([distance:Number], [angle:Number], [color:Number],
[alpha:Number], [blurX:Number], [blurY:Number], [strength:Number],
[quality:Number], [inner:Boolean], [knockout:Boolean],
[hideObject:Boolean])
Creates a new DropShadowFilter instance with the specified parameters.

Parameters
[optional] - The offset distance for the shadow, in pixels. The default value
distance:Number
is 4 (floating point).
[optional] - The angle of the shadow, 0 to 360° (floating point). The default
angle:Number
value is 45.
[optional] - The color of the shadow, in hexadecimal format 0xRRGGBB. The
color:Number
default value is 0x000000.
[optional] - The alpha transparency value for the shadow color. Valid values
alpha:Number
are 0 to 1. For example, .25 sets a transparency value of 25%. The default value is 1.
[optional] - The amount of horizontal blur. Valid values are 0 to 255 (floating

point). The default value is 4. Values that are a power of 2 (such as 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32) are
optimized to render more quickly than other values.
