Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Blur effect via action scripting
you don't even need a tween package for this (altho they sure are useful things). read about BitmapData, BlurFilter, and "Repeating actions using loops" in the Flash Help. The advantage of using any tweening extension is exactly to avoid the excessive hassle one has to go through when creating even the simplest transition by raw coding, and to allow a lot more features to be used easily, so I can't see how it could be helpful to reinvent the wheel at this point and do something much simpler in a more difficult way and wasting more time. You don't "need" a lot of things in actionscript. Whether you're better off without them is another question. Loops would be instantaneous. You would need to control the duration of the effect via some sort of timer or interval. Tweens essentially package up this timer functionality with a set of equations to handle property changes. It's all just math, really, but I don't think using loops would be as efficient as using a tween. You got it right first - you can't use loops for that as code execution has to be halted (and a new frame rendered) for any visual change to be sent to the screen.
