MovieClip 847

Example

The following example applies a drop shadow to a movie clip instance. It then traces the value

of the

cacheAsBitmap property which is set to true when a filter is applied.

import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;

var container:MovieClip = setUpShape();

trace(container.cacheAsBitmap); // false

var dropShadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(6, 45, 0x000000, 50,

5, 5, 1, 2, false, false, false);

container.filters = new Array(dropShadow);

trace(container.cacheAsBitmap); // true

function setUpShape():MovieClip {

var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",

this.getNextHighestDepth());

mc._x = 10;

mc._y = 10;

var w:Number = 50;

var h:Number = 50;

mc.beginFill(0xFFCC00);

mc.lineTo(w, 0);

mc.lineTo(w, h);

mc.lineTo(0, h);

mc.lineTo(0, 0);

mc.endFill();

return mc;

}
