Tween filter properties using Tweener

[justinBeeler]

Someone please help...

I am trying to tween the BlurFilter's properties (or any other filter's properties) using Tweener. Please tell me why my code is not working.

var bf:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(10,10,3);

var aFilters:Array = new Array(bf);
mc.filters = aFilters;

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,doBlur);

function doBlur(e:Event):void
{
     Tweener.addTween(mc,{blurX:0,blurY:0,time:1,transition:"linear"});
}

Never used tweener, but my guess would be that if it is expanding upon the built in tween classes, the property you are tweening has to be a property of the clip that the tween is applied to. blurX and blurY if i remember correctly are actually properties of the blur filter, not the clip itself.

Okay, actually I found the answer in the documentation. You have to use the filter shortcuts.

import caurina.transitions.properties.FilterShortcuts;
FilterShortcuts.init();

Then you can tween the filter properties like this:

Tweener.addTween(mc,{_Blur_blurX:0,_Blur_blurY:0,t ime:1,transition:"linear"});
