Hello all,

I am looking for a tutorial (or maybe some of you guys can help) in how to create (hard to explain) light showing behind a tekst or picture. It’s something that user upuaut8 is using it in his signature.

This is the picture I’d like to use:

Well, you can’t do it with Swift3D, which is this forum’s center. There are a couple of threads in the Flash 5 forum that talk about lighting effects, mine in particular, and where the tutorial and free .swf download are.

You can do it in Swish v2.0 though. Just open the Sample file “ray of light” and edit it to your liking. You can export it to .swf too.
