Blur Effect Won't Play

[Vincent0]

No, that isn't how it is used at all. Put this code in your main timeline:

_root.clicked = false;
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(_root.clicked){
        if(button._currentframe == button._totalframes){
            gotoAndPlay("Homepage", 1);
        }
    }
} 

And put this in your button:

on(release){
    _root.clicked = true;
} 

This is assuming your button is named button. Change the line:

if(button._currentframe == button._totalframes){ 

So your button instance name is there instead of the word button. That code will work provided the blur is done with frames and not with AS.
