Hello, I want to make a modal effect like a popup window in Flex, but with pure as3.:frankenstein:

I put a filled Shape with a blur on it but doesn’t look the same. I am assuming the blur effect is applied on the stage, but this would also blur the popup window. I also want several layers of modal+popup like “do you want to delete this?” and pressing yes =\> “are you sure?” Kind of thing.

I would like at least some ideas, maybe I will get inspired. Thanks!
