Blur Transitions?

[Phobotech]

I have Flash 8.

It's possible to make an object change from one opacity to the next, or one color to the next, but how do I creat a motion tween where an object (or objects) in a movie clip go from focused in, to blurred out?

As if I had the focal point on the foreground, with the background blurred, and with two tweens, I can shift the focus.

(I'm also wondering, if it's possible to do with blur, is it possible to go from no glow at all, to a full glow in a smooth, proportionate transition?)

Use motion tweening, but change the glow filter on each keyframe.

So, if it's going from frame 1 to frame 20, I create the motion tween in between the two keyframes.

THEN, after the motion tween is established, do the blur/glow effect on the movie clip.

THEN, add a keyframe for every frame in-between, (20 keyframes in all) and with each one adjust the blur/glow accordingly, gradually, in each frame?

Merely clarifying.

Make Object a symbol
Make background a symbol (both on separate layers)

Make sure there is nothing else on those layers
on keyframe one, click the object, go to filters tab down the bottom of the screen, click the plus, add blur, increase blur to suit.
make new keyframe at frame 20 for both background and object, click on your object, go to the filters again, hit the 'minus' or change the blur to 0.
Click the background, add a blur through filters like you did with the object.
Right click the in-between frames on the timeline, add a motion tween to both layers.
Add easing to suit (Ease out 100 probably looks best here)

Simplest way I could think of putting the process!
