Filters

Anyone care to give example of using filters in script for flash 8 export.

For example this code

code:

---

import flash.filters.*;



//sets up the blur

var blur = new BlurFilter(5, 5, 3);



//applies the blur

ball_mc.filters = [blur];



//function for rollOver

ball_mc.onRollOver = function() {

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

blur.blurX -= (100-blur.blurX)/25;

blur.blurY = blur.blurX;

ball_mc.filters = [blur];

}

}





//function for rollOut

ball_mc.onRollOut = function() {

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

blur.blurX += (50-blur.blurX)/25;

blur.blurY = blur.blurX;

ball_mc.filters = [blur];

if(blur.blurX >= 5) {

delete this.onEnterFrame;

}

}

}

from flash doesnt work so I assume there are some differences.

Seems like Chris had some examples but I could not find them.

Sort of found my answer.

In flash you use the import function
import flash.filters.*;

//sets up the blur

var blur = new BlurFilter(5, 5, 3);


in Koolmoves you don't use this but rather refer to the filter
var blur = new flash.filters.BlurFilter(5, 5, 3);
then the rest of the example works.

This one change will let you work with Flash filter examples.

That's true.
KoolMoves doesn't support the import statement.

Another way would be to create a shortcut in the beginning of your movie
_global.BlurFilter = flash.filters.BlurFilter;
After that you could use BlurFilter like the original source code.

I passed on submitting the old filter ports I used to serve (since the exchange I no longer carry files locally) since Bob added filtering to the GUI. I figured anyone advanced enough to code their own could probobly do better than my examples so I just left all the code for dead.
