How to create embroidered Text with Actionscript?

[mwiley43]

I need to create embroidered text dynamically in flash. The text will have two colors, one the color of the text, and the other the color of the trim around the text (the embroidered look). I was wandering if anyone knew an easy way to do this? I'm currently trying to do two textboxes layered with the trim text a font slightly bigger then the regular text, but it isn't giving me the best results. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advandce :)

use a filter. i used the drop shadow, gave it a strength of 1000 and change the color. change the distance of the drop shadow to 0 and the blur X to 2 or 3. Blur Y will change automatically (its locked by default). This gives you the closest thing to embroidered look i can think of.
