a few pointers please

[SirSeraphdeFallen]

if anyone could help me out it would be great. below is an AS for the shake movement for a movie clip on stage.

scenario: i want to make certain words shake on the screen like when you watch a movie and the credits shake, but i wanted to use actionscripting instead of putting a ton of instances on the stage and trying to get them to look right.

problem: i make my movie clip of the words "in association with" i double click the symbol to edit it and hit f9 and add the below AS. then i drag as instance of this sybol into the screen and test it. every time i get an error. am i doing something wrong?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
function shake(){
shakex=random(20)-10
shakey=random(20)-10
shakex*=0.7
shakey*=0.7
if(shakex<1 && shakey<1){
_parent._x=0
_parent._y=0
}
}
setInterval(shake,100)
_parent._x-=shakex
_parent._y-=shakey
}

second thing i would like to knowis this, i have watched a lot of flash on this site and i see this cool transition and i haven't been able to figure out how to replicate it. it is where you have a scene and there is stuff in the background and to make the focus go to the characters or what have you in the front the back ground is blurred out. and if you want the background in focus the foreground is blurred out.

now i have read several tutorials on how to do this but it says to use photoshop to achieve the blur. only thing i see wrong with that is how do you photshop blur a moving picture?

i am currently working on my first newgrounds flash and id like to make sure i fix the problems i have before i submit it.

all help would be grealty appreciated.
thank you for your time

Happy Flashing!!

I don't know jackshit about your first question, but to blur a moving picture, you would have to blur every frame of the picture you're trying to move, until every frame has the blurred picture moving.

Unless that's not what you meant.

for the first one you don't need both an interval and a enterFrame
make the enterFrame a load

for the second one use a blur filter, if you're using flash 8 you have bult in filters that can tween

Yeah, you don't need to be in edit mode. Exit edit mode, then just click the MC once (ie, select it), and then F9 and add your actions
