1.) because the property does not return a reference to the true
filters-array of the movieclip. Just a copy of it. So you need to assign it
back to the movieclip after you've edited it.
2.) you can't if it's not the only filter applied. If not you should loop
through the array looking for an instance of the "DropShadowFilter" class.
You haven't already you need to import the class
"flash.filters.DropShadowFilter"
The following code will search for the dropshadow in the array and set it's
quality property to 15.
var myList:Array = myMC.filters;
for(i in myList)
{
if(myList[i] instanceof DropShadowFilter)
{
myList[i].quality = 15;
break;
}
}
myMC.filters = myList;

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Access DropShadow filter via AS?
Two questions....
1) Why couldn't I just do...
myMC.filters[0].quality = 15;
2) In your example, how do you know that DropShadow is at index 0?
Thanks,
