Create preset filter libraries

Save filter settings as preset libraries that you can easily apply to movie clip and text objects. Share your filter presets with other users by providing them with the filter configuration file. The filter configuration file is an XML file that is saved in the Flash Configuration folder in the following location:

  • Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\language\Configuration\Effects\filtername.xml

  • Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS3/language/Configuration/Effects/filtername.xml

  1. Apply the filter or filters to the object.
  2. Click the Add Filter (+) button, and select Presets > Save As.
  3. Enter a name for the filter settings in the Save Preset As dialog box, and click OK.
