import flash.filters.GlowFilter; //The GlowFilter class lets you apply a glow effect to various objects in Flash. You have several options for the style of the glow, including inner or outer glow and knockout mode. The glow filter is similar to the drop shadow filter with the distance and angle properties of the drop shadow set to 0.
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter; //he DropShadowFilter class lets you add a drop shadow to a variety of objects in Flash. You have several options for the style of the drop shadow, including inner or outer shadow and knockout mode.
import flash.filters.BlurFilter; // The BlurFilter class lets you apply a blur visual effect to a variety of objects in Flash. A blur effect softens the details of an image. You can produce blurs that range from a softly unfocused look to a Gaussian blur, a hazy appearance like viewing an image through semi-opaque glass.
import flash.filters.BevelFilter; //The BevelFilter class lets you add a bevel effect to a variety of objects in Flash. A bevel effect gives objects such as buttons a three-dimensional look. You can customize the look of the bevel with different highlight and shadow colors, the amount of blur on the bevel, the angle of the bevel, the placement of the bevel, and a knockout effect.
