This example shows how to create text inner shadow, text and display object border, beveled text with border, lines with inner shadow and frames with inner shadow.
This example includes a BorderStrokeFilter and TextShadowFilter classes and skinnable container FrameSkin skin. It also includes a drop shadow explorer. It is setup so you can compare text with drop shadow filter applied (in Flash) with images of rasterized text (with stroke) exported from Photoshop.
