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
