blurY (GlowFilter.blurY property)
public blurY : Number
The amount of vertical blur. Valid values are 0 to 255 (floating point). The default value is 6.
Values that are a power of 2 (such as 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32) are optimized to render more quickly
than other values.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
Example
The following example changes the blurY property on an existing movie clip when a user
clicks it.
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
var mc:MovieClip = createGlowFilterRectangle("GlowFilterBlurY");
mc.onRelease = function() {
var filter:GlowFilter = this.filters[0];
filter.blurY = 20;
this.filters = new Array(filter);
}
