Xml text progressive light glow effect

This item is also included in the text pack

last update: 2008-07-14 – see Changelog

Pure actionscript 3.0 progressive light glow effect with xml based configuration.

Not only a text effect but can also work with any static content: logo’s, images, movieclips

You can use external xml file or pass config when creating the effect.
Use it “AS-IS” or embed it in your own project.
Works with both embedded or non embedded fonts, you can use any:

font
size
color gradient

Configurable

glow (area, blur, intensity)
persistence
transition duration
text delay

You can define multiple transition, each one with its own settings and multiple text lines.

Other features:

Autodetect embedded fonts and use them
Include color gradients presets
Include SWFS that you can use even without FLASH IDE at all

Notes

If you use uncommon fonts you should always embed them.

However, even with standard fonts, flash player 9 will have less quality (no antialias) you don’t embed.

Glow helps, but you will always notice the difference.

This issue is solved with flash player 10: as long as user has the font, there are no quality differences between embedded and non-embedded fonts
