i made something similar one time ago, here is a tip, there should be 2 pictures, the blurred one should be the background, and the normal one would be the mask, and u just set the mask to follow \_xmouse, something like:

```php
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
	mask_mc._x = _xmouse;
}

```

i gonna search for the file in my pc now!

yours,

Kirupa also has a tutorial on that, written by Montoya

It’s cool, I don’t know if that works for Flash 5 or if it is just for MX, so your example may help.

[edit]I found out that tutorial is for Flash MX, and I believe scripted masks like that can only be done in Flash MX[/edit]
