[RESOLVED] AS3 and TweenMax

[vinchenzison]

Hi,

Decided this week to bite the bullet and learn AS3 from AS2.

Basically what I have is 6 movieclips nested in a single mc.

-- main_holder --
-- panel_01 --
-- panel_02 --
-- panel_03 --
-- panel_04 --
........

Each of the panels loads an external movie. All this works fine.

All panels are visible on screen at once.
I have a separate menu. I have tried to write a script that will blur the panels that are not in use. So if a user clicks a button to view panel_01, all the other panels should blur.

Here is my code so far but it isn't working.

//Blur others
var panelMcs:Array = new Array("main_holder.panel_01", "main_holder.panel_02", "main_holder.panel_03", "main_holder.panel_04", "main_holder.panel_05", "main_holder.panel_06");

function blurOthers(target) {
    for (var i:Number=0;i<6;i++){
        if (panelMcs[i] != target) {
            var bMC:String = new String(panelMcs[i]);
            TweenMax.to(bMC, 0.5, {blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}});
            } else {
            TweenMax.to(target,0.5, {blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}});
            }
    }
} 

I am calling the function like so

blurOthers(main_holder.panel_01); 

I'm not sure if the bMC:String part is correct - the code is just my last attempt at getting it to work.

Not sure if this helps but this is the error message I'm getting when I click on a button

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property filters not found on String and there is no default value.
	at gs.plugins::FilterPlugin/initFilter()
	at gs.plugins::BlurFilterPlugin/onInitTween()
	at gs::TweenLite/initTweenVals()
	at gs::TweenMax/initTweenVals()
	at gs::TweenLite/activate()
	at gs::TweenLite$/updateAll()

Hope all makes sense!

Thanks for the help
