The great power of flex is how easy it is to do this stuff. The one downfall for people that are not careful is that all of their apps will look like aero. Although I guess thats ok, Mac users dont have a problem with all their apps looking the same.
But anyway the chiseled text in a label I was just looking at how to do the other day and I hadnt gotten it yet so this is right on time.

Also, it appears you're trying to apply these styles to a canvas. Note that to do so, you'll also need to set the borderStyle of the canvas to solid (you can set the thickness to zero, if you don't actually want to see a border). If that's not enough for you, you can also use flash filters, examples of which can be found here:

Hank,
There are a few basic things you can do to style the drop shadows. Look at these styles:
dropShadowColor="0x000000"
dropShadowEnabled="false"
shadowDirection="center"
shadowDistance="2"

Subject: [flexcoders] shadow lighting
when applying shadowing to an object, if the lighting source is to the
top left of the object, then the shadow will be on the bottom and the
right. Typically there is also a white or light band across the top
and down the left side.
I am wondering how you do this in flex. I see it in the application
bar and so I am thinking that I should be able to style a canvas to do
it, but I cant seem to do it with the shadow related settings. I
believe I was able to do this kind of things with movie clips in
flash.
I guess a second question is whether it is possible to do any of those
cool flash 8 effects on containers/canvases in flex.
