you need to take a snapshot of the full depth... you're not blurring anything at the top level at all......
imagine 2 layers.... the item that seems like it blurs what's behind it ..... and the rest..... Now instead of blurring some odd shape and masking that back in the interface you leave that layer alone.... the only thing you need from that layer is size and position.... How much do we need to blur and where on screen..... With that information we make a flat copy of the "background".... we copy a piece that is slightly smaller than the the component and create from it..... that sprite is placed between the the two layers.... and blurred! We're only blurring an area the size of the top component.... and we never harm the background!
