Hi.

Do you mean the closed eyes?

Those seem to be black strokes to me.

Do you mind elaborating a little bit more?

Regards,

I mean the light shadows. like the white rim that its moving when the head is moving. and i would like to know how you can make it. i could do a lot of things with this.

Put your character into a movie-clip symbol > Make a Drop Shadow filter > Choose a lighter color like yellow or white > Check inner shadow > Adjust blur, strength, distance, angle to your needs.

It's gonna be a little bit harder on Macromedia Flash 8, since on that version, filters could only be used with movie-clips.

Okay!! i will try Thhank you!!

everything works fine! but is there a way to make it not touch the black lines?

There is a way; make a duplicate layer and set the blend mode to overlay, apply both the drop shadow filter and the overlay on the duplicate layer only. Here's a demonstration using Animate, try to recreate it in Flash 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o7lGqqANM8

To be fair these effects are more suitable to After Effects and I'm sure this is how they did it in The Amazing World of Gumball as well.

Thanks so much dude!

well. you cant use the blend and some things are just not in macroemdia flash 8. i tried in adobe animate and it worked fine. so idk how they made it in total drama when they usedf flash 8

In Flash you have to use Frames To Movieclips, because filters and blending modes can only be applied to movie clip symbols.

Here is a quick test in Flash 8. Works just fine:
