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.

Questions are better asked in the forum, though.
