You can convert Flash content to a JPG or a PNG using the JPGEncoder and PNGEncoder classes which come with Adobes corelib package. It is hosted with google code here . I am sure you can apply filters to the text after it is entered using Actionscript You just might have to apply it to a bitmapData object first.
