It seems like a simple question, but I just can't figure it out. I need to add an outline to the text in Flash....how!?!?
 
Break the text apart (ctrl+B - you'll have to do this twice in MX) which breaks the font into vector shapes then use the stroke tool (looks like an inkwell) to create an outline.
 
ok, almost there -
broke it apart, and now i see the place to select the stroke, but it won't let me set it (there's a red slash through it like its disabled...)
