Dynamic Flash Filters

[livegangsta]

Hi, I have downloaded the newest 3D Flash Animator to check out the new flash filters. But I can only set these filter at startup and I can't change their properties.

Is there any way to change the properties of flash filters dynamically in 3D Flash Animator?

I have found something in the flash documentation but I think it's not very useful:

import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
//create a new movie clip called holder_mc
var holder_mc:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("holder_mc", 10);
//create a nested movie clip called img_mc
holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img_mc", 20);
//load an image into img_mc
holder_mc.img_mc.loadMovie("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image2.jpg");
//apply a blur filter
holder_mc.filters = [new BlurFilter(10, 10, 2)];
//position the movie clip on the Stage
holder_mc._x = 75;
holder_mc._y = 75;
//adjust the blur filter when the mouse moves
holder_mc.onMouseMove = function() {
  var tempFilter:BlurFilter = holder_mc.filters[0];
  tempFilter.blurX = Math.floor((_xmouse / Stage.width) * 255);
  tempFilter.blurY = Math.floor((_ymouse / Stage.height) * 255);
  holder_mc.filters = [tempFilter];
};

Thanks,

Try these ...

var _f = new flash.filters.BevelFilter;
_f.angle = 45;
_f.distance = 4;
_f.blurX = 4;
_f.blurY = 4;
_f.highlightAlpha = 1;
_f.highlightColor = 16777215;
_f.knockout = false;
_f.quality = 1;
_f.shadowAlpha = 1;
_f.shadowColor = 0;
_f.strength = 1;
_f.type = "inner";
var _fa = this.filters;
_fa.push (_f);
this.filters = _fa;
