Apply filters

Each time you add a new filter to an object, it is added to the list of applied filters for that object in the Property inspector. You can apply multiple filters to an object, as well as remove filters that were previously applied. You can apply filters only to text, button, and movie clip objects.

You can create a filter settings library that lets you easily apply the same filter or sets of filters to an object. Flash stores the filter presets you create in the Property inspector on the Filters tab in the Filters > Presets menu.

The Add Filter menu in the Property inspector.
