Just tested with a Flash 8 SWF proxy, and she works like a charm. I'll blog tomorrow morning & post the source. Short answer: - create Flash 8 SWF - expose 2 public methods; 1 to blur a movieclip passed in, and 1 to clear the blur (remove the blur from the filters array) - load the SWF into Flex - call the blur method on the swf when it's done loading in - to remove the blur, call the unBlur method on the SWF
