quality (GlowFilter.quality property)
public quality : Number
The number of times to apply the filter. Valid values are 0 to 15. The default value is 1, which
is equivalent to low quality. A value of 2 is medium quality, and a value of 3 is high quality.
Filters with lower values are rendered more quickly.
For most applications, a
quality value of 1, 2, or 3 is sufficient. Although you can use
additional numeric values up to 15 to achieve different effects, higher values are rendered
more slowly. Instead of increasing the value of
quality, you can often get a similar effect, and
with faster rendering, by simply increasing the values of
blurX and blurY.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
Example
The following example changes the
quality property on an existing movie clip when a user
clicks it.
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
var mc:MovieClip = createGlowFilterRectangle("GlowFilterQuality");
mc.onRelease = function() {
var filter:GlowFilter = this.filters[0];
filter.quality = 1;
this.filters = new Array(filter);
}
function createGlowFilterRectangle(name:String):MovieClip {
var rect:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(name,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var w:Number = 100;
var h:Number = 100;
rect.beginFill(0x003366);
rect.lineTo(w, 0);
rect.lineTo(w, h);
rect.lineTo(0, h);
rect.lineTo(0, 0);
rect._x = 20;
rect._y = 20;
var filter:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x000000, .8, 16, 16, 1, 3, false,
false);
var filterArray:Array = new Array();
filterArray.push(filter);
rect.filters = filterArray;
return rect;
