How do you make things glow?

ok…i want to make a circle glow red.
i have no idea on how to do this.
can anyone help please?

A) Import an image made in Photoshop or some other art program.

B) In Flash goto Window/Color Mixer then in the drop down box you can select a type of gradient and edit the colors for your glow.

ok, and what if i want to turn on and off the glow of an object?

Depends, is this for a button or for a movie clip?

What is the situation?

i’m just wondering how to make things glow, say in a movie clip.
I have a circle in the movie clip, red behind it so it looks like its already glowing.
i want the circle’s glow to become more intense and then less intense.
kind of like a light bulb.

That would just be a gradient and a simple tween.

Check my attached .fla file to see what I mean.

The gradient was done as a radial gradient edited in Window/Color Mixer

OooOoOhhhhhh…
ok.

Thanks for your help.:slight_smile:
