Hi…

I’m using this code from a tutorial in a video  
[COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]init[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]var[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]:[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]DropShadowFilter[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]DropShadowFilter[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]distance[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]0[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]angle[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]45[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]color[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]0x333333[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]alpha[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]1[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]blurX[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]10[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]blurY[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]10[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]strength[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]1[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]quality[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#991010]15[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]inner[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]false[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]knockout[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]false[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]dropShadow[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]hideObject[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]false[/COLOR]; [COLOR=#000000]myMovieClip[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000000]filters[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]=[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]Array[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]init[/COLOR]COLOR=#000000[/COLOR];

It works pretty well, the only problem is that it makes the video much slower. If I take out the Drop Shadow Effect the video plays well.

Is there a way to apply a Drop Shadow with AS3 without making the Video slower?

Thank you!
