Is there any way to make a simple shadow effect in Flash? When I say shadow I mean shadow I dont mean a detailed outline of an object I just mean a sort of black outline that fades out giving the effect the the button is beveled out. Please if you know what I am talking about, let me know if there is some sort of component or techinique I can use.
