Access Properties

[usuarioImginario]

Hi everyone!

 

I need some help. I'm playing with the alpha property in the GlowFilter class. I'm trying to access that property directly from the code, if i trace (mc.alpha); it trace methe alpha of the movie clip not the alpha of the glowing area. How can I access that property?

 

It would help me tons!

 

thanx

You'd need to loop through the filters and find the one that's a GlowFilter and get that object's alpha. Kinda like:

 

var filters:Array = mc.filters;
var i:int = filters.length;
while (i--) {
   if (filters[i] is GlowFilter) {
       trace("alpha is " + filters[i].alpha);
       break;
   }
}

Ok, i copied your code, it makes a lot of sense but it doesn't work!

 

i tried trace(mc.filters[1]);

and it traces "undefined"

so I'm lost!

 

thanx for the help, I feel I'm close but really need help!
