Well, it isn't a _real_ outline, of course, but a trick that looks
pretty good though with round objects and small objects like text. I
made it a prototype of movieclip so you can add an outline to virtually
anything with a simple function call.

Take a look at [url]http://users.utu.fi/patlil/outline/outline.html[/url]
If you look at it really carefully you can figure out how it is done ;)
