Applying filters (Flash Professional only)

You can apply one or more filters to selected objects using the Property inspector. Each time
you add a new filter to an object, it is added to the list of applied filters for that object in the
Property inspector. You can apply multiple filters to an object, as well as remove filters that
have been previously applied.
The Add Filter menu in the Property inspector.
To apply a filter:
1.
Select a movie clip, button, or text object on the Stage that you want to apply a filter to.
You can apply filters only to text, button, and movie clip objects.
2. Select the Filter tab in the Property inspector.
3. Click the Add Filter (+) button and select a filter from the Filters pop-up menu.
