Actionscript3 - Quick AS3 dropshadow filter example
This will add a dropshadow filter to a sprite (here symbolized as the variable oSprite):
For information on the parameters visit the actionscript pages on the dropshadow http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/filters/DropShadowFilter.html
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter; var filter = new DropShadowFilter(16,45,20,0.5, 20.0, 20.0,1.0); oSprite.filters = [filter];
Now to remove the dropshadow again (or any other filters for that matter):
oSprite.filters = [];
