Rendering Effects in Flash

Having a filter on a symbol is pretty simple in flash. They are all in the filters tab on the properties panel.

"but, i cant use filters on a graphic." well then DON'T! its as simple as that.

if you are doing a project that you are animating and need to use a filter in flash, make the symbol a BUTTON and animate using that sybmol. This will give you the ability to use filters AND the ability to render the clip out using seq images or an movie file.

*nooooooooooooooteeeee and thats a big (NOTE!)

If you put that button in a graphic, it may not render out. it may disappear.
if it does...
((((put the buttons on the main timeline to work.))))

ANNNNNDD CUT!
