Hi. I'm wondering if there is any way to blur the contents behind a component. Similiar to how an alert box works but not the entire display. I think that it should be possible based on a couple of facts.
1 blendmode means that a component must be able to know the visuals behind it. 2 even changing an alpha must mean the player is aware of underlying visuals as there are pixel maths involved. 3 blend modes which are not native to the flash player are implemented as shaders. 4 gaussian blur could be implemented as a custom shader if necessary. I have seen AS2 implementations but they rely on getting a bitmap of an entire background. This obviously doesn't work with overlapping components. Ideally for simplicity I'd do this as a custom background on a spark titlewindow component. Initially as this can be dragged arround. If this can't be implemented as a shader is there any way to link the size and position of two unrelated components. This would be useful for underlays/overlaying Wes Sent from my Kindle Fire
