I know in flash it's a glow filter. Probably around the same thing for photoshop.

1. Place your text as a selection
2. Fill with base-color
3. Selection > Expand
4. New layer (move it behind the layer with the base color)
5. Fill with outline color

Repeat steps 2-5 as needed.

you can do it by doing three layers, each a lil bigger than the rest and then do outer and inner glow to each layer(same color for the glow to each layer btw)

and on the top layer no effect, just the middle and bottom

1. Make your text layer
2. Duplicate it 3 times
3. Add an outer glow to each of the 3 layers
4. Adjust the glow on each layer to your likings...

here's a screenshot...

I used NO scaling at all... NO outlines...

simply 3 text layers, all with glows adjusted.... THAT'S ALL
