How to make a shadow of the sprite?

[San4er]

I can make a shadow to a text.

Now I need to make a shadow to the Image or Sprite.

I have an idea how to do it using Alpha Mask and bitmapData, but would like to know are there any ready solutions?
If not, I'm gonna make it and post here in a few days, maybe it will even become a default function of Phaser, cuz it's kinda useful

Create another Sprite, offset it from the original Sprite, and tint it black.

Thanx. I looked in examles a day ago and didn't find this one 
Now I'll think how to make the shadow 'softer'.
