I am new to ActionScript.

Does anyone know how to make transparent text for Flash with ActionScript 3?

I have a movie clip as a background which had an embeded video.  I only want the outline of the text I display in front of this movie clip to be displaye with this movie playing inside the text outline and outside of it as well.

Please help me out with this one.

Thank you,

Eric Siegel

The other long winded approach would be to get the text outlined in illustrator and then bring in the outlines in Flash.

Thanks.

You may want to play with blur or drop shadow filter with embedded fonts.
