The following example shows how you can set a creation complete effect on a Flex Button control by setting the creationCompleteEffect style.

 
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<!– http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/06/17/setting-a-creation-complete-effect-on-a-button-control-in-flex/ –>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”
layout=”vertical”
verticalAlign=”middle”
backgroundColor=”white”>

<mx:Button id=”button”
label=”Button”
creationCompleteEffect=”Zoom” />

</mx:Application>

You can also set the creationCompleteEffect style using an external .CSS file or <mx:Style /> block, as seen in the following snippet: 

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<!– http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/06/17/setting-a-creation-complete-effect-on-a-button-control-in-flex/ –>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”
        layout=”vertical”
        verticalAlign=”middle”
        backgroundColor=”white”>

    <mx:Style>
        Button {
            creationCompleteEffect: Zoom;
        }
    </mx:Style>

    <mx:Button id=”button”
            label=”Button” />

</mx:Application>

or

you can set the creationCompleteEffect style using ActionScript, as seen in the following example:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Button;
            import mx.effects.Zoom;

            private var button:Button;

            private function init():void {
                button = new Button();

Runtime Circle

Creating a method that can be used by all movieclips in a movie

As of Flash MX, the prototype property of the MovieClip class can be used to assign additional functions to the class, which makes them available to all movieclips. Here’s an example of creating and using a draw circle method:

// r = radius of circle

// x, y = center of circle

MovieClip.prototype.drawCircle = function (r, x, y) {

var TO_RADIANS:Number = Math.PI/180;

// begin circle at 0, 0 (its registration point) -- move it when done

this.moveTo(0, 0);

this.lineTo(r, 0);// draw 12 30-degree segments

// (could do more efficiently with 8 45-degree segments)

var a:Number = 0.268;  // tan(15)

for (var i=0; i < endx =" r*Math.cos((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);

endy =" r*Math.sin((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);

ax = endx + r * a *Math.cos(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);

ay = endy + r * a *Math.sin(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);

_x = x;

_y = y;

x=100;

y= 100;

To draw a shape with a part of it cut out, like a donut eg, simply put all  

the commands to draw both the initial object (big circle) and the

cutout (smaller circle) between the beginFill and endFill

statements. Here's how the donut on the left (ok, more like a bagel but still delicious)

was created:
// r1 = radius of outer circle

// r2 = radius of inner circle (cutout)

// x, y = center of donut

// This creates a donut shape (circle with a cutout circle)

MovieClip.prototype.drawDonut1 = function (r1, r2, x, y) {

var TO_RADIANS:Number = Math.PI/180;

this.moveTo(0, 0);

this.lineTo(r1, 0);// draw the 30-degree segments

var a:Number = 0.268;  // tan(15)

for (var i=0; i < endx =" r1*Math.cos((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);" endy =" r1*Math.sin((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);" ax =" endx+r1*a*Math.cos(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);" ay =" endy+r1*a*Math.sin(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);" i="0;" endx =" r2*Math.cos((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);" endy =" r2*Math.sin((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);" ax =" endx+r2*a*Math.cos(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);" ay =" endy+r2*a*Math.sin(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);" _x =" x;" _y =" y;" array =" [0," array =" [100," array =" [0," object =" {a:300,">  
Using a shape with a cutout as a mask

If a shape containing a cutout is to be used as a mask, as the donut on the      right above, care must be taken to draw the cutout in the opposite      direction from that in which the original shape was drawn. (If you      don't, there will be no cutout in the mask). Here's the code for the donut      mask on the right, in which a big circle is drawn in a clockwise direction      and a smaller circle drawn in the opposite direction (all before the endFill      is applied). pic is a movieclip containing the flower graphic.
// r1 = radius of outer circle

// r2 = radius of inner circle (cutout)

// x, y = center of donut

// This creates a donut shape that can be used as a mask

MovieClip.prototype.drawDonut2 = function (r1, r2, x, y) {

var TO_RADIANS:Number = Math.PI/180;

this.moveTo(0, 0);

this.lineTo(r1, 0);// draw the 30-degree segments

var a:Number = 0.268;  // tan(15)

for (var i=0; i < endx =" r1*Math.cos((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);" endy =" r1*Math.sin((i+1)*30*TO_RADIANS);" ax =" endx+r1*a*Math.cos(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);" ay =" endy+r1*a*Math.sin(((i+1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);" i="12;"> 0; i--) {

  var endx = r2*Math.cos((i-1)*30*TO_RADIANS);

  var endy = r2*Math.sin((i-1)*30*TO_RADIANS);

  var ax = endx+r2*(0-a)*Math.cos(((i-1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);

  var ay = endy+r2*(0-a)*Math.sin(((i-1)*30-90)*TO_RADIANS);

  this.curveTo(ax, ay, endx, endy);

}

this._x = x;

this._y = y;

}

createEmptyMovieClip("d2", 2);

d2.beginFill(0xaa0000, 60);

d2.drawDonut2(86, 36, 300, 94);

d2.endFill();

pic.setMask(d2);

Blur Filter:

Now, we see the blur Filter Examples…

Now we have create a movie clip and give instance name as reflec…

Main screen

1: Movie Clip
2: 2 input textfiled for Blur x and Blur y
3: Update button

Let, before open

import the filters

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

After, apply the effect to the movie
on Enterframe event

Here, the complete Code…

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

function update()
{
updatebtn.onPress = function()
{
applyfilter()
var s = new Tween(_root.reflec,”_x”,null,0,350,5,true)
s.onMotionFinished = function()
{
s.yoyo()
}
}

}
update()

function applyfilter()
{
var blur_X = Number(_root.blurx.text)
var blur_Y = Number(_root.blury.text)
var quality = 3

var filter = new BlurFilter(blur_X,blur_Y,quality)
var filterarr = new Array()
filterarr[0] = filter
reflec.filter = filterarr

_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if(reflec.hitTest(_xmouse,_ymouse,true))
{
if(reflec.filters[0].blurX != 0)
{
blur_X -= 1;
blur_Y -= 1;

filter = new BlurFilter(blur_X, blur_Y, quality);
filterarr = new Array();
filterarr[0] = filter
reflec.filters = filterarr;
}
}
else
{
if(reflec.filters[0].blurX != 10)
{
blur_X += 1;
blur_Y += 1;

filter = new BlurFilter(blur_X, blur_Y, quality);
filterarr = new Array();
filterarr[0] = filter
reflec.filters = filterarr;
}
}
}
}

Have!, a gr8 effect…
Thanks….
