Making Mx 2004 Timeline effect Blur go backwards

Hello

I know there have been quite a few posts regarding playing a timeline backwards.

Due to my very limited knowledge of AS I couldn’t get those codes to work.

Anyway, my question is this :

I have used the Blur Timeline effect. I placed My text (that I used the effect on, converted it to a graphic symbol) inside a movieclip.

I want that text to start off as a blur and converge to become my normal text, ie make the blur go backwards. How can it be done :q:

I’ve attached the file, please correct it.

And another question, does anyone suggest a better way to create a motion blur in mx 2004 (other than the flash 5 tutorial on this site).

thanks in advance for your help, just please do :slight_smile:
