[RESOLVED] Filters do not display on publish

[aidanmack]

Hi guys,

Im using this filter to blur a movieclip on a click event.

var filter:BlurFilter=new BlurFilter(4,4,BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH);
var filters_array:Array=new Array();
filters_array.push(filter);
mainCradle.filters = filters_array;

This runs fine when I go to control -> test

But when published it doesn't apply the filter

..well it does but you caunt see it on screen.
I created a dynamic text box and sent mainCradle.filters to it and it would appear that a filter is attached. Its just not using it.

Any ideas?
Can you attached listeners or something for when a filter has been added?

Have you tried importing the filter package.

Hi,
Yeah its in a class so i have to import the package...

import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.BitmapFilterQuality;

Try this. Make sure your dynamic text box has the instance name mainCradle.

var my_filter:BlurFilter=new BlurFilter(4,4,BitmapFilterQuality.HIGH);
mainCradle.filters = [my_filter];

Thanks for that Ilike2
That didnt work either.
However I might of solved it.
if you rightclick and zoom in on movie clip that has the blur effect on it, when you test it.
In the output you get

"Warning: Filter will not render. The DisplayObject's filtered dimensions (10105, 663) are too large to be drawn."

I think the same thing is occuring when the swf is published except I dont need to zoom it in.


If I unload some of the large objects out of the movieclip i am applying the fillter to, the problem stops.

So Issue solved.... well I know why its happening, but i dont think I will be able to fix it. I need some of the objects in the movieclip to be as big as they are.

Think I will have to write some nasty code that removes the larger items when a blur is applied.... nice.
