For all the people asking about blur filters

1

I’ve seen a few people post pages with animated blurs and ask “How did they do this” lately, so I whipped up an example. It’s in the “Experiments” section as well, but I’m not sure people looking for answers will go there. Anyhow. Delete this if you think it’s the wrong area.

[SIZE=4]Blur![/SIZE]


import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(i, z, 5);
    target_mc.filters = [blur];
    i = Math.abs(difX);
    z = i/5;
    difX = (xPos-target_mc._x)/15;
    target_mc._x += difX;
    xPos = _xmouse;
};

Hope that helps.
