This filter is just a conversion from the ShineFilter extension available as an extension for Starling 1.x. I re adapted for use in Starling 2.1.

Add sample source code like this:

// Example
var shineFlt:ShineFilter = new ShineFilter();
shineFlt.rgbTint = Vector.<Number>([1, 1, .7]);
_msgTextField.filter = new FilterChain(new GlowFilter(0xFF6600, 0.6, 2), shineFlt);
// or single filter
_msgTextField.filter = shineFlt;
 
// as per the old extension you can set also position, intensity and rgbTint

Example of rgbTint [1,1,.7] and position being animated from 0 to -2.0:

If you are using Gist, you can add the source code of your extension easily with the following code. Just replace the number in parenthesis with the Gist ID.
