Text Stroke
Text stroke in FlashFX works identically to shape stroke, with one important additional consideration: large strokes on small text can quickly become illegible. Test stroke readability at the final export resolution.
Stroke Behavior on Text
- -Stroke on text is always rendered outside the character shape by default, preventing the stroke from eating into the fill. This can be changed to Inside or Center in the stroke alignment settings.
- -Heavy stroke weights on thin fonts produce a "fat face" typography effect. Use intentionally and test at export size.
- -Stroke color, gradient stroke, and dashed stroke are all available on text.
Multiple Strokes
Like shapes, text can have multiple stroke layers applied. A common technique is applying two strokes — a thin bright inner stroke and a thick dark outer stroke — to achieve a hand-lettered outlined effect.
Stroke Alignment Options
- -Outside — stroke extends outward from the character edge (default)
- -Inside — stroke extends inward, overlapping the fill
- -Center — stroke straddles the character edge equally
