If you are using the latest SVN version of Tweener (AS3), you can get the GlowFilter with Tweener to work. Here’s the code sample assuming you have a movie clip named “box” on the stage.
Most important thing here is to make sure that you initiate the shortcut:
FilterShortcuts.init();
// Import Filters import flash.filters.*; // Import Tweener import caurina.transitions.Tweener; // Import Tweener propertie shortcuts import caurina.transitions.properties.FilterShortcuts; // *** Very Importaint *** : Initialize shortcuts FilterShortcuts.init(); var glowIn:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x9A1A06,0.8,10,10,2,2); var glowOut:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x9A1A06,0,10,10,2,2); box.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver); box.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onOut); function onOver (m:MouseEvent):void { Tweener.addTween (m.currentTarget, {_filter:glowIn, time:1}); } function onOut (m:MouseEvent):void { Tweener.addTween (m.currentTarget, {_filter:glowOut, time:1}); }

class, well cool, tell me something, ive been applying tweens to the filters themselves specifically the hex color values and although it works, i.e I can have a colorfilter change color over time it does it in a really random fashion, is there a tweening class that does it just between the two shades specified?
Kewl, thanks.
