HELP Animate glow filter only comes out as red!

[danilop26996278]

Hello everyone,

I have been struggling with one of my banners.. i added a glow to text but when i publish and test the glow is always red no matter what color i switch too...

Is this a bug?

what's the new cjs.Shadow argument?

[danilop26996278]

im not sure what you mean by that.... im just adding a filter to the movie clip

check your js document.

this.instance.shadow = new cjs.Shadow("rgba(255,255,255,1)",5,5,10); still doesnt show

that's a white glow which won't show on a white stage.  ie, change your stage background or position the object above a colored background.

if you've done that and see a red glow, you're not viewing the correct html/js.

its sitting on a background image so not sure why it wont show... the image is a backdrop of a winter scene.... when i add the filters in animate i can see them visible in the application but when opening the html file they are gone

how can you view in animate?  testing in animate should open a default browser.

You should NOT be using filter effects in HTML banners. Current browsers do not have native support for glow, etc. filters, so they're simulated manually, pixel-by-pixel, by JavaScript. This is very resource-intensive. Resource-intensive banners is why people started using ad blockers.
