I'll blog tomorrow morning & post the source. Short answer: - create Flash 8 SWF - expose 2 public methods; 1 to blur a movieclip passed in, and 1 to clear the blur (remove the blur from the filters array) - load the SWF into Flex - call the blur method on the swf when it's done loading in - to remove the blur, call the unBlur method on the SWF Pretty neat! - Original Message - From: "jgraham_us" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 4:13 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 mx.controls.Alert vs. Flex 1.5 So whats the trick to capturing the bitmap data?
