Animated filters

Help!

Below, I have a script that fades in when whatever is loading into it reached 100%. The alpha fade scripts (commented out) works well, but I would like to have it unblur into focus instead. So instead of alpha of 0 into an alpha of 100, I would like to try to get a BlurFilter of 16, to a BlurFilter of 0.

Any ideas?

Thanks

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var percentcheck = (this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal())*100;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
var bf:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(16, 16, 3);

if (percentcheck == 100) {
    if (bf.blurX<16) {
        bf.blurX--;
        bf.blurY--;
    }
   // if(this._alpha < 100){
   //this._alpha +=5;
   //} 
} else {
    this.filters = [bf];
    //this._alpha = 0;
}

}
