CREATING BLUR EFFECT IN FLASH
REQUIREMENTS
1.FLASH 8
2.FLASHPLAYER 8

STEP 1.Open a new flash document using open->new flash document
STEP 2.Do in open menu as open->import->import to stage(any picture on which you wanna
create blur effect)
STEP 3.Now the pic is on stage..select it using the selection tool from toolbox.
STEP 4.Now press F8 inorder to convert the image into a symbol.and name it as blur.
Select Movie clip from the radios appear in that popup.press enter
this is like F8->select movie clip->rename it to blur..
STEP 5.Now again click on the image on the stage(in the middile of monitor now) and
you will see a property tab at the bottom right side of your screen,
select FILTER from it and you will see a + sign.click that and
select blur from the popup that appear.now give the value 100 to the X & Y
in the same tab and press ENTER.
This is like FILTER-> + -> BLUR -> X & Y =100 ->ENTER
STEP 6:go to the frames timeline,you will see frames starting from 1 to many like 1,2,3
select frame 50 and press F6 inorder to insert a keyframe.
STEP 7.Now click the image in front of you then
goto FILTER tab seen at the bottom right of your screen and change the value
of X & Y into 0,press ENTER.
it is GOTO FRAME 50 -> PRESS F6 ->CLICK IMAGE->GOTO FILTER->CHANGE VALUE
OF X & Y INTO 0->PRESS ENTER
STEP 8.Now click on any frame from 2 to 49 and select motion from
TWEEN popup menu that is just bottom center of your screen.
(now you will see an arrow from frame 2 to 49)
that is just bottom center of your screen.
just do SELECT ANY ONE FRAME FROM 2 TO 49 ->SELECT MOTION FROM TWEEN POPUP MENU
THAT IS AT YOUR BOTTOM CENTER OF SCREEN.
STEP 9.Press control+s inorder to change saves to your document.
STEP 10.Presss control+enter to view your animation...
Thats it your animation is ready..

Nice, — the timeline filter-tween is the fastest way to get a blur-in/out for a single asset. A few practical clarifications and tips that will save time and headaches when you build or export this kind of effect.

Filters are applied to the instance and the player treats that instance as a cached bitmap while the filter is active. That makes applying blur simple, but it also means: blurred edges can get clipped if the symbol bounding box is tight, and scaled clips can look pixelated. Give the symbol extra transparent padding if you see cropped edges, and avoid scaling a filtered clip if you need a crisp result.

If the blur looks jumpy or choppy at runtime, try these fixes: raise the movie frame rate for smoother interpolation, reduce blur quality or blur amount to lower CPU work, or use a pre-blurred bitmap and crossfade between versions for complex scenes. Also avoid adding heavy filters to many instances at once — filters are expensive. For smoother timing and easing beyond the timeline controls, animate the filter via ActionScript or a tweening library so you can control easing and performance more precisely.

Finally, note that browser support for Flash has ended; for new projects use Animate CC (HTML5 Canvas), CSS/SVG filters, Canvas/WebGL, or JS libraries (CreateJS/GSAP) to reproduce blur effects on the web. If you must keep a SWF for an internal app, test in the real Flash Player (not just the authoring preview) and profile CPU usage before finalizing.
