Question

Just wondered if anyone could help showing me how to ease in a blur filter for a particular movie clip?

treetrigger.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollovert);
    function rollovert (event:MouseEvent):void {
        myBlur.blurX = 0;
        myBlur.blurY = 0;
        tree.filters = [myBlur];

        myBlur.blurX = 7;
        myBlur.blurY = 7;
        man.filters = [myBlur];

        myBlur.blurX = 20;
        myBlur.blurY = 20;
        crowd.filters = [myBlur];
    }

I wanted to ease in all 3 movie clips by 1 second when i click on ‘treetrigger’ but i don’t know how & where to put in the actionscript. Thanks!

You can use a tween library to do this easily. For instance, using Actuate the code would be:

Actuate.effects (tree, 1).filter (BlurFilter, { blurX: 0, blurY: 0 } );
Actuate.effects (man, 1).filter (BlurFilter, { blurX: 7, blurY: 7 } );
Actuate.effects (crowd, 1).filter (BlurFilter, { blurX: 20, blurY: 20 } );

Another popular tween library is GreenSock’s TweenLite but any decent tweening library should be able to do the same thing.
