Question

In as3 I’m creating a drop shadow, which works fine. But when I change the height or width of the object (mcWhiteBorder) the drop shadow does not appear at all. Any ideas?

var mcWhiteBorder:whiteBorder = new whiteBorder();
var dropShadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter();
dropShadow.distance = 1;
dropShadow.alpha = .2;
dropShadow.blurX = 10;
dropShadow.blurY = 10;
mcWhiteBorder.height = houseXML.height-40;
mcWhiteBorder.width = houseXML.width+5;
mcWhiteBorder.x = houseXML.photoX-10;
mcWhiteBorder.y = houseXML.photoY+20;
mcWhiteBorder.filters = [dropShadow];

addChild(mcWhiteBorder);

Take note that filters don’t work with clips bigger than “certain values”, have a look at the comments in this thread…
