| Product Version : | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
 | Starting with Flex 4.0, Apache recommends that you use the spark.effects.AnimateFilter class as an alternative to this class. In Flex 4, use the AnimateFilter effect with a Blur bitmap filter. |
The Blur effect uses the Flash BlurFilter class as part of its implementation. For more information, see flash.filters.BlurFilter.
If you apply a Blur effect to a component, you cannot apply a BlurFilter or a second Blur effect to the component.
