Hey all,

I need help with some text. I’m sure you’re all familiar with putting a stroke around text in Adobe Photoshop, like this: ![](http://www.nickpettit.com/site/logo-banner.gif)  
So how do you do this in Flash without resorting to drawing the lines? I would imagine that it’s fairly simple. Any help is appreciated. Thx.
