Help with "feature" outer or inner glow in Flexi

[EternalAudio]

Illustrator has an inner and outer glow feature, which I am trying to do the same thing inside of Flexi. Is this possible, and how, if it is?

Basically, I have a shape that I am trying to create a border around that goes from a transparent/white inside, gradient to a solid black edge of about 2 inches around the entire object.

Thanks as always for any insight any of you may have.

Not sure this is possible with Flexi. Flexi's bitmap handling capabilities are rather primitive which includes the inability to do gradient transparencies among other things.

Create your image elsewhere, flatten it into a bitmap, and then import it into Flexi. Keep in mind that Flexi doesn't honor anyone else's transparencies. The ways to do what you want are legion, but not in Flexi. Flexi primarily is a vector handling package and bitmaps are an afterthought.
