Newbie question about blurFilter

[turb]

Hi,

 

I'm new to TweenMax and was trying to achieve the following:

 

I have a movieclip that move from left to right. What I want is that during the animation, to have a blur effect that kind of "fade in" and "fade out" on the beginning and end of the animation.

 

Right now I'm able to blur my mc but I have problem with the "fade" parts.

 

TweenMax.to(row_1, 8, { x:String(newX), blurFilter:{ blurX:40, remove:true } });

 

Can someone help me figuring out how to fade the blur effect with a sample or a tutorial.

 

Thanks alot

If you want something to blur-in and de-blur out maybe this is what you mean:

To apply that effect to your tween try

 

//give tween target initial alpha and blur settings
TweenMax.set(row_1,  {alpha:0, blurFilter:{blurX:40}})
//move object along x axis
TweenMax.to(row_1, 8, { x:String(newX), ease:SlowMo.ease.config(.2, .9) });
//add blur at beginning, remove at end (while alpha is fading in and out)

TweenMax.to(row_1, 8, {alpha:1,blurFilter:{blurX:0},ease:SlowMo.ease.config(.2, .9, true)})

Let us know if that helps
