Usage

-----------------------

Add the CCLabelFX folder to your project. Import "CCLabelFX.h" where needed.

Example:

	ccColor4B shadowColor = ccc4(255,0,0,255);

	 ccColor4B fillColor = ccc4(0,0,255,255);

        

	CCLabelFX *label1 = [CCLabelFX labelWithString:@"Testing Labels with shadows" 

                                              fontName:@"Marker Felt" 

                                              fontSize:30 

                                          shadowOffset:CGSizeMake(-2,-2) 

                                            shadowBlur:2.0f 

                                           shadowColor:shadowColor 

                                             fillColor:fillColor];

See CCLabelFX.h ways to create a CClabelFX, also check out the sample project.

Warnings

-----------------------

   * Since CCLabelFX is a subclass of CCLabelTTF it is expensive to create. 

   * Setting the shadow color, fill color and string is as expensive as creating a new one.

   * When using large text with wrapping, make sure you don't use too much blur or a big shadow offset. It will generate unexpected results.

   * Don't handle the CCLabelFX color with the color property. Instead, set the fill color.

That's it, I hope you find it useful. Suggestions and corrections are always welcome.
