How do I add a stroke to text in Flex 4? Specifically I'd like to add it to a Label (the text will change in it). Update The closest solution suggested has been to add a drop shadow filter as shown below. I've added a rectangle with a stroke for comparison. If the stroke weight is between 2 to 3 it's acceptable. If it's above or below that then it's too blurry or rough. In my case I need to support 2 to 6 weight. A follow up question would be is it possible to create a stroke filter through Pixel Bender. <pre><code><s:VGroup> <s:Label text="Select an example on the left. Right-click to view source." color="#FF8C00" top="10" left="10" fontSize="25"> <s:filters> <s:DropShadowFilter blurX="2" blurY="2" distance="0" quality="1" strength="10" color="#000000"/> </s:filters> </s:Label> <s:Rect width="100%" radiusX="8" radiusY="8" height="18"> <s:fill> <s:SolidColor color="#FF8C00"/> </s:fill> <s:stroke> <s:SolidColorStroke weight="1" /> </s:stroke> </s:Rect> <s:Label text="Select an example on the left.

1. COWithin the Flash animation tool you would need to convert the text to outlines and then apply a stroke, but of course then you can't change the text in code.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
