I wanted to make a glass effect, an image in back, and a dialog, which is transparent, but it blurs the picture behind it slightly. Since the BG image is randomly selected, i need to make the blur thing in Actionscript, so, anyone who can help, thanks.

Good luck scripting a blur effect on a bitmap. 😉
