text stroke

[TimmySwiss]

How do I add stroke to a text title in flash?

I'm using CS3.

You need to make the text shape. click on the text and click ctrl + b twice.(make sure the text is the way you want it, you won't be able to edit later) it will now be a shape. then just use the ink tool and click on the shapes to add a stroke.
