Hey, everyone.

I’m trying to create an animated filter effect in flash 8 with actionscript.

Currently, I’m using the properties inspector to create the filter.

It’s set to

BlurX: 24  
BlurY:24  
Strength 100  
Quality Low  
Colour #ffffff

I would like to do this in actionscript. I’ve got the following code

body.filters =[new flash.filters.GlowFilter(24, 24, 3)];

nothing really happens with this code.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

-Atrus
