Photoshop type dropshadow in Illustrator?

Hey,

Ok got Illustrator CS at work and was wondering how I could create the following effect in it?

http://www.yduk.net/imgtest.gif

That was created in Photoshop using the following Drop Shadow options:

Blend Mode: Normal
Distance: 0
Spread:100
Size: 10

Now, in Illustrator you just get blur - it doesn't quite work the same, I have no idea why they don't just use the tools found in photoshop to allow you to change all of this?

Reason I'm asking is because I want to import these words into flash and I want to be able to scale them without losing quality. Flash has the most basic tools I have ever seen for graphics so I can't see it being able to be done in there.

Anyone know how to replicate this in Illustrator so I can use it as a vector in flash?

Cheers,
Chris
