TextField with filters

[Petithomme]

Hi,

I have an issue with filters on textfields. The render is fine when exported in flash :

But the same popup in html5 just show this :

Here is the code related :

public function setBorder(opacity:Float = 0.5, thickness:Int = 4):Void
{
var shadow:DropShadowFilter = new DropShadowFilter(0, 90, 0x000000, opacity, thickness, thickness, 10);
this.textfield.filters = [shadow];
}

Do you have any idea ? I am up to date with openFL.

Regards,

Ok I will check dev version asap.

Thanks.

This is the initial view: [TextFieldWithFilter1] The top text is the textfield, the bottom is the movie clip. Clicking the right …

Last openFL version fixed my issue, did you test it ?
I had nearly the same issue, first popup opened had the correct behavior, and then, each time I opened it, the textfield was messed up.

There should be no longer a problem with updating text property in a TextField with a filter applied on it. Have you checked with the latest release or development builds of OpenFL?
