NAME

       SWF::Filter - SWF filter class

SYNOPSIS

	       use SWF::Blur;
	       use SWF::Shadow;
	       use SWF::Constants qw(:Filter);
	       @color= (12,45,99);
	       $blur = new SWF::Blur(15, 15, 2);
	       $shadow = new SWF::Shadow(2.5, 12, 2);
	       $filter = SWF::Filter::newDropShadowFilter( @color,
			 $blur, $shadow, SWF_FILTER_MODE_KO);
	       $displayitem->addFilter( $filter);

DESCRIPTION

       Filter objects are available since player version 8. They can be applied to buttons, movieclips and text instances by the addFilter()
       method of SWF::DisplayItem objects. Several types of filters exist. Each of them has its own method of construction, see below.

METHODS

       newDropShadowFilter($colorref, $blur, $shadow, $flags)
	   Creates a DropShadowFilter object. The object is controlled by color, blur object, shadow object and flags (SWF_FILTER_MODE_INNER,
	   SWF_FILTER_MODE_KO).

       newBlurFilter($blur)
	   Creates a BlurFilter object. The object is controlled by the blur object.

       newGlowFilter($colorref, $blur, $strength, $flags)
	   Creates a GlowFilter object, a simple variant of DropShadowFilter.  Use SWF_FILTER_MODE_INNER, SWF_FILTER_MODE_KO as flag values.

       newBevelFilter($shadow_colorref, $highlight_colorref, $blur, $shadow, $flags)
	   Just another (complex) variant of DropShadowFilter.	Use SWF_FILTER_MODE_INNER, SWF_FILTER_MODE_KO or FILTER_MODE_ONTOP as flag values.

       newGradientGlowFilter($gradient, $blur, $shadow, $flags)
	   Just another (more complex) variant of DropShadowFilter.  As flag use SWF_FILTER_MODE_INNER, SWF_FILTER_MODE_KO or
	   SWF_FILTER_MODE_ONTOP .

       newGradientBevelFilter($gradient, $blur, $shadow, $flags)
	   Just another (slightly more complex) variant of DropShadowFilter, extending newBevelFilter() by using a gradient instead of simple
	   colors.  Use SWF_FILTER_MODE_INNER, SWF_FILTER_MODE_KO or FILTER_MODE_ONTOP as flag values.

       newColorMatrixFilter($filtermatrix)
	   The filtermatrix is an object of SWF::FilterMatrix class sized 5 columns x 4 rows for RGBA values, useful for transformations like
	   color conversion to greyscale pictures.

       newConvolutionFilter($filtermatrix, $divisor, $bias, $colorref, $flags)
	   Another filter for nice picture effects like blur etc.  The filtermatrix is an object of SWF::FilterMatrix class.  As flag use either
	   use SWF_FILTER_FLAG_CLAMP or SWF_FILTER_FLAG_PRESERVE_ALPHA.
