Problem-Drop Shadow Text With Animations

Im trying to use the FET animations on a dynamic text object. On the text layer, I have assigned the text the Drop Shadow Filter. However, when I play the animation, the drop shadow doesnt show up. I'd like to have the drop shadow there the whole time, not just as a drop shadow rollover animation as is the case for FEBDropShadow. I would also like to keep the text, text, instead of an image that i made in photoshop with drop shadow applied in photoshop. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use our FEFDropShadow effect. It's in the filters tab. Check it out, and if you still have problems please let us know and we will try to give you another solution.

Thanks, works perfectly
