I am positive that this must be a breach of NDA

I don’t think Mr Franto has signed the beta NDA… any chance you can publish the source code?

Would have been nice to label the text fields
For those trying to figure it out, it looks like:
1. Strength
2. Horizontal Spread
3. Vertical Spread
4. Angle

There’s a long history of hacking the public beta players. I remember using the drawing API in Flash 5 with the Flash MX player and some obscure ASNative calls.

Heh, very true. If I remember correctly, that exploration was part of the inspiration for the “25 Lines of Code” contest on We’re Here!
Good times…

// Here’s the source code
function tween(str, bx, by, an) {
{
filterObj2.strength = filterObj2.strength – ((filterObj2.strength – str) * 0.5);
filterObj2.blurX = filterObj2.blurX – ((filterObj2.blurX – bx) * 0.5);
filterObj2.blurY = filterObj2.blurY – ((filterObj2.blurY – by) * 0.5);
filterObj2.angle = filterObj2.angle – ((filterObj2.angle – an) * 0.5);
p.filters = [filterObj2];
var _local3 = Math.abs(filterObj2.strength – str);
var _local2 = Math.abs(filterObj2.blurX – bx);
var _local4 = Math.abs(filterObj2.blurY – by);
var _local9 = Math.abs(filterObj2.angle – an);
if (((_local3 + _local2) + _local4) =
but.label.text = “Tween”;
but2.label.text = “Random”;
var filterObj2 = (new flash.filters.DropShadowFilter());
filterObj2.strength = 50;
filterObj2.blurX = 50;
filterObj2.blurY = 50;
filterObj2.angle = 160;
p.filters = [filterObj2];
} else {
desc.text = “You need Flash player 8″;
}
but.onRelease = function () {
_root.tween_interval = setInterval(_root, “tween”, 40, Number (strength.text), Number (blurX.text), Number (blurY.text), Number (angle.text));
};
but2.onRelease = function () {
strength.text = random (100);
blurX.text = random (100);
blurY.text = random (100);
angle.text = random (360);
};

This is awesome!
Here’s another example using glow and bevel:

You may also see a tree with the new classes and properties from the filter objects.

Tinkered a bit with the filters…
Looks like they changed the MovieClip array filter variable to “filters”…previously it was reported that you were to assign filterList
Here’s some quick code:
var filterObj = new flash.filters.BlurFilter();
filterObj.blurX = 100;
filterObj.blurY = 100;
this.filters = [filterObj];
