I’m guessing im taking an overly simplistic attempt at dynamic blur. I want a black oval movieclip to blur based on the mouse position. I have searched the site and read the tutorials but i cant get what i want.

//defining var based on mouse location  
onClipEvent(mouseMove) {  
var xpos = \_root.\_xmouse;  
var ypos = \_root.\_ymouse;  
}  
//using mouse location variable to change blur  
var myBlur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(xpos,ypos,5);  
var myTempFilters:Array = circle\_mc.filters;  
myTempFilters.push(myBlur);  
circle\_mc.filters = myTempFilters;

can anyone point me to a easy tutorial or let me know where i am going wrong.

thanks!
