Okay, I’m prolly blind, but I’m following this tutorial, and this is what it said…(the bold is what I don’t understand) Click the rectangle tool, make sure that there will be no outline on it by clicking in the Stroke color box and clicking the white box with a red line through it. Draw the rectangle so that it is taller than your text and about twice as wide. Then click the rectancle you just made and find the Fill panel. This is where you get to pick your colors and effects. For the example above, I did a linear gradient that went from grey to white to grey, making the white portion small compared to the rest of the gradient. \*\*Then I used the fill editor tool to rotate the “glint” to the angle it’s at.\*\*But that’s just the way that I did it. You have unlimited creative freedom here. ![](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Text_Effects/Making_T-Beyond_S-525/glint_step2.jpg) I can’t FIND the Fill Editor Tool that he’s REFERRING TO!!! Can someone help! PLEASE!! 🙂 ---

In MX, it is under Window/Color Mixer But I think in Flash 5 it is under Window/Panels/Fill or something like that. ---

okay, I"m using Flash 5, and under the Windows\>Panels\>Fill when that panel pops up, there are four tabs INfo Transform Stroke Fill Which one would I use to create that effect? The tutorial said to rotate the Glint, but when I use TRANSFORM to rotate it, it rotates the ENTIRE Fill, which causes it to go off my stage LOL ??? HELP!!! ---
