Blurring the background

[Guest]

Hopefully someone can help.....

I have a very simple animation involving a number buttons with a fade in animation on the over state.

I've basically made a usual suspects line up, and when you rollover the person in the lineup, a new image fades into the foreground holding a plaque with their name on.

What I would like to happen is for background_mc to blur when ever one of the buttons is rolled over, but no idea how to achieve it.

You can see the animation at: http://www.shadowplay.co.uk/usual.swf

Thanks

If my button is called philj_btn, how would I change it so that mc_back is blurred when you rollover philj_btn?

Thanks

import flash.filters.BlurFilter;

import mx.transitions.Tween;

import mx.transitions.easing.*;

//

// postavljanje blur filtera na movieclip

var filter:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(0, 0, 3);

var filterArray:Array = new Array();

filterArray.push(filter);

//

mc_ball.filters = filterArray;

mc_ball.blurred = 0;

//

mc_ball.onRollOver = function() {

     var tw1:Tween = new Tween(mc_ball, "blurred", Strong.easeOut, mc_ball.blurred, 10, 20, false);

     tw1["onMotionChanged"] = function() {

          filter.blurX = mc_ball.blurred*5;

          filter.blurY = filter.blurX;

          mc_ball.filters = filterArray;

     }

};

mc_ball.onRollOut = function() {

     var tw1:Tween = new Tween(mc_ball, "blurred", Strong.easeOut, mc_ball.blurred, 0, 20, false);

     tw1["onMotionChanged"] = function() {

          filter.blurX = mc_ball.blurred*5;

          filter.blurY = filter.blurX;

          mc_ball.filters = filterArray;

     }

};

stop();

In that example, mc_ball is the object that is being targeted for rollover and blurring, so in the code you have, you need to replace mc_ball with mc_back and philj_btn.  The button gets the rollover/out assignments while the blur filter/tweening get associated with mc_back.
