Simple BevelFilter

AS3, , , ,

Some months ago, I was at Turbulent Média Inc. in Montréal, Canada as a flash trainee. During this internship I discovered the BevelFilter class.
At this time, I’m creating my Portfolio (it will be online soon), and I reuse an effect discovered there for buttons.
Here is my button.

And now the simple code without any Tween !
