I'm going line by line with senocular's xmlmenu tutorial. I have a question. Why do I get a syntax error, if I try to import a blur filter in it?
The line, making me trouble is the first line when importing a filter - import flash.filters ....
this is all i have in the script. and it gives me a syntax error on the first line! classpath is ~/ActionScript/ and the classes live in ~/ActionScript/com/<classes>. what in the nine levels of hell am i doing wrong?

I created a movie with the blur filter applied via Actionscript which works great. If I try and load that movie into another movie via loadMovie, the filter is lost. Can a parent movie load a child movie and apply a filter to it? My test case is pretty simply, the child movie contains a text movie clip with no actions or filters. My parent movie loads the child movie and applies the blur filter to the child movie (and fails). If I use the Actionscript to apply the blur filter from the parent movie in the child movie by itself it works fine.
This is the simplified version of the code I use to apply the filter which works when I use it directly on the child movie:

I'm currently producing my first website in Flash CS3 and have just encountered a problem with a transitional effect I'm experimenting with: Transitional effect uses the Flash Blur filter set to 10 (X andY) on the first frame to 0 on the last frame (Medium quality). This is used with an alpha setting of 50% on the first frame to 100% on the last frame.
The .fla is using the default setting of 12fps. When I preview the transitional effect, various multi-coloured horizontal lines appear randomly on the images during the tween, and some remain visible once the tween is complete. Would this be because the blur filter cannot be used effectively together with different alpha settings?
Maybe the frame rate for the animation is set too low?
I commented out the alpha line in my script but I would like to use the blur filter property.My animation seams a bit abrupt an easing effect can that be doe or not

I'm trying to create my own modal window (the built in popup manager won't work for this application) and get objects behind the window to be blurred. The code below is obviously wrong since it doesn't work but can someone point me in the right direction? Do I have to manually blur each object behind the window?

In the last 2 projects i've worked on, i've been using the blur filter to create certain effects.My problem is that whenever I test the movie in the Flash CS4 IDE, it crashes giving me the option to submit a crash report to Adobe before quitting.If I run the compiled SWFs outside of Flash, they perform much better and there is no crashing.

View 1 RepliesI have a problem here with masking and the blurFilter. I have 2 MC's maskMC (square shaped) and iconMc (circle shaped) both at 50px width and height. masking the iconMC with the maskMC is no problem, but when I try to apply a blur filter to iconMC, some of its edges bleed out from the mask.

View 3 RepliesJust finished exchanging email with one of the Adobe Support reps. It turns out that one of the most widely advertised features is bugged and is only halfway functional, namely the "Blur" filter, available from the Filter panel. Does anyone of You know how to effectively use the blur filter without crashing the whole application? Adobe admitted that the problem persists and there is no fix to it in CS3 in Windows XP/Vista. I get an impression that i paid the full price for an app only partially functional...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to export my flash animation to quicktime, but because for some odd reason the normal .mov exporter on flash corrupts the images, I'm exporting to .swf, importing to premiere pro, then exporting again to .mov. The problem is that .swf import on premiere pro only captures the first layer of the timeline, so I have to use graphic symbols in order to get all the animations out on the first layer. Now I'm trying to do blur on some of the symbols, but graphic symbols can't have filters, and movie clips won't show up on premiere pro.
View 1 RepliesI want the transition to blur slightly, but not the movieclip, which contains a jpg. How can I write this with ActionScript 3?
View 1 RepliesI am using to blur an image using BitmapData. The function is called on a Slider_changeHandler(event:Event):voidevent and the value of the slider is passed to the function as blurvalue.The problem is the function works but seems to be cummalative (if that's the correct word!), that is, suppose I slide it to the maximum and after that try to reduce the blur by sliding it back towards the front the blur still keeps increasing. How do I make it to work so when I will slide it up blur increases and when I slide it back blur decreases and when slider is at 0, no blur is applied.[code]
View 2 Repliesdone a 3d object to rotate according to the position of the mouse while holding.Id like to add a blur effect to the MC while moving the mouse. So when the mouse is moving fast, the blur on the MC would 10, and if the mouse stoped, the blur would be 0.
View 3 Replies[code]It works when the code is placed right on the timeline of the MC in question.However when i use the exact same code in an external "effects" class file, it does not work.
View 5 RepliesBasically you click and drag a place on the map. The mask is a copy of the red line shape, and the blue part is a circle masked using the red line's copy. What I want to do is apply a blur filter to the blue portion so that it looks like a highlight on the line (I'll change the color to white then). The problem is when I apply a blur filter, instead of keeping solid edges on the line it blurs the mask... or something. I'm not totally sure what I'm missing here.
Here's the code for the mask at the moment:
theHighlight.graphics.beginFill(0x0000ff, 1);
theHighlight.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 50);
theHighlight.graphics.endFill();
TweenMax.to(theHighlight, 0, {blurFilter:{blurX:25, blurY:25}});
theHighlight.cacheAsBitmap = true;

Problem 1: Flash crashes when a Blur filter is applied to a TextLine object.
Correction: It was not the Blur filter but this line, which caused a crash:
trace(tb.findNextWordBoundary(5));
whereby tb is a TextBlock element.

View 1 RepliesWhat I want to do is link the blur filter with the coordinates of an object I have in a movie.Like as the x coordinate of an object gets larger the blur amount increases as well, and decreases as the x coordinate gets lower.

I have a script that's creating 2 empty movie clips and then adding thumb nails into the second one. then finaly drawing a shape and adding a dynamic mask on top
i.e. _level0.emptyClip1.emptyClip2 -->thumb1thumb2thumb3etc..the problem is, I want to add blur when im scrolling to emptyClip1 or even emptyClip2, but alas not luck. The weird things is, as Im trying to figure this out, I found that I could add blur to the thumbs themselves but not to their parent clip. I've been trying to figure this on my own for a week, with no avail.
I've been scouring the internet for the past hour or so in search of how to do this. It's very simple, but every example seem to want me to bring a loaded movie clip, or trace mouse position. I don't need that! Basically I have a button that when clicked comes to the front (using behaviours), moves to a new position, scales and then I want every other button behind it to blur. Obviously I want them to blur gradually to keep the flow going. Here's my current code so you can see where its going:
