text filter

one short question:

can text be used for effects?

I guess I have to put it into a snapshot first and then apply the filter on this snapshot, right?

thanks in advanced.

As of build 2010, it doesn’t look like you can apply filters to display.newText()'s.  I don’t know if that’s coming.  But you should be able to add it to a snapshot and then apply the filter to the snapshot.

Hey Rob,

allright, thanks for the quick answer!

Yes, you would have to put these in a snapshot. The reason filter effects operate on the fill, while text is rendered via a mask on the fill.
