You could probably capture the bitmap data before you open the alert, blur the bitmapData, and then open up a MovieClip via PopUpManager behind the alert (basically call it before Alert), and draw the bitmapData into that movieclip.
Basically, when you shutdown Windows XP, it does a screen capture of your desktop, and then brings up a modal dialogue. If you wait 5 seconds, it'll fade that background to gray. It looks like your desktop is fading, but it's really just a screen capture, so they are fading one image. You are basically doing the same thing, except blurring it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jgraham_us" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 3:06 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2 mx.controls.Alert vs. Flex 1.5 The Flex 2 version of this control does and effect on the entire background app when the Alert.show is called, it does a fade/blur effect. Is there a way to get this to work in Flex 1.5?
