Blur transition effect - Page 5

Final thoughts

• You can try different filters for the blurred picture instead of gaussian blur. In particular, motion blur and radial blur will give interesting effects.
• It may be a good idea to make the blurred picture duotone or grayscale for effect.
• If you want the animation to be triggered by another element on stage, the key is to assign the onRollOver and onRollOut actions to another button or movieclip. For example, for a button with an instance name of trigBtn placed on the _root timeline, you would change this.onRollOver to _root.trigBtn.onRollOver and this.onRollOut to _root.trigBtn.onRollOut.
• You can adjust the speed of the animation by modifying the value of the speed variable.
