GlowFilter (flash.filters.GlowFilter) 599
You can also apply filter effects to images and video during authoring. For more information,
see your authoring documentation.
If you apply a filter to a movie clip or button, the
cacheAsBitmap property of the movie clip
or button is set to
true. If you clear all filters, the original value of cacheAsBitmap is
restored.
This filter supports Stage scaling. However, it does not support general scaling, rotation, and
skewing; if the object itself is scaled (if
_xscale and _yscale are not 100%), the filter effect
is not scaled. It is scaled only when the Stage is zoomed.
A filter is not applied if the resulting image exceeds 2880 pixels in width or height. For
example, if you zoom in on a large movie clip with a filter applied, the filter is turned off if the
resulting image exceeds the limit of 2880 pixels.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
