Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to blur something that is drawn dynamically? I have a dynamic line that zig zags, but when I attempt to put a blur action on to it, it does not appear blurred. Does anyone have an idea how to get this line to look blurred? (I’m trying to achieve a spray paint effect). Much appreciated!

```auto

var speedX:Number = 23;
var speedAngle:Number = 0.4;
var range:Number = 750;
var angle:Number = 5;
var xpos:Number = 0;
var ypos:Number = 0;
var centerY:Number = stage.stageHeight / 5;
var blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter();
 
blur.blurX = 10;
blur.blurY = 10;
blur.quality = 1;
 
graphics.lineStyle (1500, 0x000000);
graphics.moveTo (-100, centerY);

addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
 
function onEnterFrame (event:Event):void {
	xpos += speedX;
	ypos = centerY + Math.sin(angle) * range;
	angle += speedAngle;
	graphics.lineTo (xpos,ypos);
}

```
