Hi there, is there any reason this particular movie clip won’t let me import a blurfilter?  
Have happily imported the blurfilter package many times before, but today it won’t work… Copied and pasted the exact code into a blank fla and it didn’t throw the error. I’m a little confused!

Error message below:

**Error** Symbol=game, layer=Actions, frame=1:Line 1: Syntax error.  
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Regards,  
Mark
