I’m running into a little bit of an issue, I have an MC that I’m using TweenMax to manipulate filters on. I want to alpha the clip to 0 but have the outerglow remain, almost like a stroke, does anyone have any ideas on how this can be done, inside the mc is a PNG, so really I’m trying to create a dynamic stroke around the non - transparent portion of the PNG.

Thanks!
