Re: TUTORIALS

[Jason Nugent]

	Hey Poet (cool name, by the way),


	The way I have managed to do a blur effect is to create a symbol 

that I want to blur (text in this case), and place two instances of it on 

two different layers.  I put them about 20 pixels apart.  They start off 

at 0% alpha channel (fully transparent).  I then tween them so they each 

move towards one another, each coming in 10 pixels. At the second 

keyframe, they are both 100% alpha (completely visible), and over top of 

each other.  This gives the effect of the text 'fading in'.  At this 

point I create another layer and place a static version of the the text 

directly over top of the other two.  Then, to simulate the fade out, I 

take the two layers that where blurred in, and do the same thing on the 

way out, but do it vertically.

	I put together a really quick example of what I mean at


	http://tuweb.ucis.dal.ca/~unix0410/test-blur.html


	so you can decide if that is what you wanted.  It is just a text 

sentence fading in and fading out, over and over again in a loop so you 

can watch it.


		I hope this helps,


			Jason
