Hi!  
First, I would like to thanks! Kirupa tutorials save my time a lot!  
Sorry about my bad English. Let´s try:

I create 15 thumbnails using PNG files with transparency as materials for Object 3D Planes (Away3D), disposed like a spiral of thumbs. For each one, I applied a Blur Filter. It works well. Take a look:

**var blur\_f:Number = 3;  
var filtroblur:Array = new Array();  
filtroblur.push(new BlurFilter(blur\_f,blur\_f,3));**

Then, in a “FOR” loop:

objeto\_camisa[i+1].filters = filtroblur;

No problems. So, when I click on a right arrow, the thumbs rotate and another thumb goes to front. It receives another filter: a glowfilter:

\*\*var filtroglow:Array = new Array();  
filtroglow.push(new GlowFilter(0xFFFFAA, 1, estagio\_rotacao, estagio\_rotacao, 2, 1, false, false));  
objeto\_camisa[camisa\_posicao].filters = filtroglow;  
\*\*  
I used another index var (camisa\_posicao), but is the same Array (objeto\_camisa). It works well too!

Now, my problem: the previous thumbnail needs to return to Blur filter. Look:

**var filtroblur2:Array = new Array();  
filtroblur2.push(new BlurFilter(blur\_f,blur\_f,3));  
objeto\_camisa[camisa\_posicao - 1].filters = filtroblur2;**

I create a new array filtroblur2, but I could use the same filtroblur array from before. When I trace objeto\_camisa[camisa\_posicao - 1].filters, it returns [object BlurFilter]. But the thumbs don´t change. There is no Blur effect on the previous thumb. Why?

I really don´t know what´s wrong. Please help me!  
Thanks for your time. I hope this thread is useful for others.
