hi,

there are loads of tutorials for maginfying glasses that use draggable movie clips and masks.

do you think it would be possible to have a blur filter effect on a mask. basically i will have a jpg as a background, a mask that follows the cursor, and where ever the cursor goes the jpg will be fuzzy under the mask.

has anyone seen this before or know if it is possible. cheers.
