[flashpro] text outlines

[Gunther Konig]

I probably don't get it right, but I think your solution doesn't
really work... maybe for individual letters but that'd still be a
mess.

The obvious solution (and I guess Jason, and probably anyone on the
list, already knew it) is to duplicate the same text few times
assigning to it the color of the outline, and then moving these
duplicates 1px (or more) horizontally and/or vertically.
