How to make blue text with red stroke?

1

Want to make blue text with red stroke.
Is there a way to do it with out having to write the text twice putting the blue one in front of the red one.

I did it in illustrator but it did not stand out as good as I wanted in flash, a black background should show it good???

Easy question

I have flsh mx

Thanks

easiest way is just to type the text and break the text into objects and paint a line around it, but you can notice it does take away the text size alittle. So the best way would to be is break the text into a object (ctrl + b twice) and copy that to the clipboard, then select all go to modify -> shape, expand fill, do it with your preference, color it red, then do ‘paste in place’ with the orginal and it should appear what you want and group all
