Flash CS5 bevel effect

Applying a bevel applies a highlight to the object that makes it appear to be curved up above the background surface.

1. Select an object to apply a bevel to, and select Filters.
2. Click the Add Filter button , and select Bevel.
3. Edit the filter settings in the Filter tab:
   • To set the type of bevel, select a bevel from the Type menu.
   • To set the width and height of the bevel, set the Blur X and Y values.
   • Select a shadow and highlight color for the bevel from the pop‑up color palette.
   • To set the opacity of the bevel without affecting its width, set the Strength value.
   • To change the angle of the shadow that the beveled edge casts, set the Angle value.
   • To define the width of the bevel, enter a value for Distance.
   • To knock out (or visually hide) the source object and display only the bevel on the knockout image, select Knockout.
