Title: RE: FLASH: Bevel & Emboss

its just a matter of playing with the fill gradients unfortunately. I do not know of any plug ins that do it.
Just have to create a heap of layers and fills until you get it lookin right.

Anyone have any tips they've found along the way to create beveled or
embossed objects?  Simple things such as squares, rectangles, and
circles I have been able to bevel easily.  But when I get to the
irregular curved objects is when it gives me troubles.  Here is a bitmap
version I did in Photoshop as a reference for myself to convert to
vectors.

Anyone have any tips here for me to try?  Or tutorials perhaps?  I've
tried the Trace Bitmap option in Flash, but none of the results I
achieved were really what I was hoping for.  I also tried the Emboss
xtra tool in Freehand 8, but it merely strokes my shapes many times.

Thanks in advance,
