symbolInstance.filters
Availability
Flash 8.
Usage
symbolInstance.filters
Description
Property; an array of Filter objects (see
Filter object ). To modify filter properties, you don’t write to this array directly.
Instead, retrieve the array, set the individual properties, and then set the array to reflect the new properties.
Example
The following example traces the name of the filter at index 0. If it is a Glow filter, its
blurX property is set to 100 and
the new value is written to the filters array.
var filterName =
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0].filters[0].name;
fl.trace(filterName);
var filterArray = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0].filters;
if (filterName == 'glowFilter'){
filterArray[0].blurX = 100;
}
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0].filters = filterArray;
