Easy Flash CS4 Alpha Gradient Mask Logo Effect - Part 1 of 2

Part 1 of 2

Gradient masks are useful for creating cool effects on logos and other flash objects. In this tutorial I will demonstrate a common way to outline or make text 'shimmer' in Flash CS4. Please note: I do use Photoshop CS4 to create the outline, but you can do this in Flash just as easy with the ink bottle tool.
You may notice the sound is about 2 seconds off in Part 1, sorry Camtasia is quirky.

@GavMateHD you're a douche. The guy puts up a useful, helpful vid and you have to be a prick about it. You're out of sync. Moron.

Not a very good tutorial, voice is out of sync you should have watched your video over and realised this and re uploaded it. Lazy!
