Figure 3. Setting the Bevel Filter attributes in the Property inspector
1. Click the Add icon to expose the filter menu. Select the Bevel option. You can add additional
effects to your objects. For this project, we’ll stick with just one.
2. Change the following Bevel attributes (See Figure 3.):
• Blur X: 3
• Blur Y: 3
• Quality: High
• Distance: 2
y Keep the other settings to their default values.
2. Notice that the text now takes on a 3-D effect - that was too easy. Having the ability to add
these Filters in Flash 8 will save you plenty of time. (See Figure 4.)
3. Finally, select Scene 1 in Timeline panel to jump out of the gr_text symbol. Now we are
ready to animate our text with a motion tween.
