import flash.filters.GradientGlowFilter;
var mc:MovieClip = createGradientGlowRectangle("GlowDistance");
mc.onRelease = function() {
var filter:GradientGlowFilter = this.filters[0];
filter.distance = 20;
this.filters = new Array(filter);
}
function createGradientGlowRectangle(name:String):MovieClip {
var art:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(name,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var w:Number = 100;
var h:Number = 100;
art.beginFill(0x003366);
art.lineTo(w, 0);
art.lineTo(w, h);
art.lineTo(0, h);
art.lineTo(0, 0);
art._x = 20;
art._y = 20;
