I can't seem to set the shadow to a text in Flash CC 2015

It's been a while since I used Flash and I have searched on the web and a few forums. I do something wrong, but we must know why, when I type text, then select it and add a drop shadow, I can adjust blur and the strength, but that's all.

In addition, my text is dynamic. I can't make it static.

Thank you!

HTML5 Canvas projects are quite different from the Flash projects. If you start a Flash project, you will see that all your faithful controls (angle, etc.) are back. HTML5 Canvas is limited at the level of the integration of CreateJS and what either Adobe decides to fire on top.

EaselJS (what Flash uses on canvas) has a shadow method that actually supports things like offsetX and offsetY so I guess it will probably just take some time to integrate into Flash. Fear not however, you can still use the method yourself if you're ready to tap into JavaScript.

Here's the class of the shadow (that is a (.shadow) property of a text object):

EaselJS v0.8.1 API Documentation: Shadow

Just to give you an example, that could help. In a HTML5 Canvas project I just added a TextField and set the name of the instance to 'myText '. Then in the code pane, I attribute just the shadow of the TextField class to get the offsetX/Y attribute:

If the color black ("#000000"), offsetX and Y of 10 pixels and blur 20px. Result:
