Question about the Tween Class

[Mitch Warren]

Hey just a quick question, I'm utilising the blur filter in the tween class so when you mouse over; the MC will blur horizontally..

Typically if I were to use the _alpha property for example, I would put the starting point as this._alpha rather than a fixed value.

How do I go about doing this with blur? I tried this.blurX but doesn't work,

Cheers!

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;


myMC.onRollOver = function() {
    var myBlur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(0, 0, 1);
    var blurTween:Tween = new Tween(myBlur, "blurX", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 40, 0.3, true);

    blurTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
        myMC.filters = new Array(this.obj);
    };
};

Theres a plugin called tweenlite at: blog.greensock.com/tweenlite/ which is easier to use than the built in tween in Flash.

Thanks I'll check that out.

I'm actually building a component which I may sell further down the line, I don't think I could use this commercially. Does anyone know if there is a built in way to check where the current blurX is? (like this.alpha)

Not sure, haven't done it before, but the Tween class has a position property that is suppose to tell you info about the current tween.
