Hi all. I found a great tutorial on a glowing effect for a button that is perfect for what I need – however, when the effect is done – I’m always stuck with a red glow instead of a custom color. The code is attached below, can someone tell me how I would go about setting up a different color than red for this effect on a button?? Thanks!

box\_mc.filters = [new flash.filters.GlowFilter()];  
var dir:Number = 1;  
box\_mc.blur = 10;

box\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
box\_mc.blur += dir;  
if ((box\_mc.blur\>=30) || (box\_mc.blur\<=10)) {  
dir \*= -1;  
}

var filter\_array:Array = box\_mc.filters;  
filter\_array[0].blurX = box\_mc.blur;  
filter\_array[0].blurY = box\_mc.blur;  
box\_mc.filters = filter\_array;  
};
