There are two effects that I think would work best with AS.

Fade- I don't mean the type that you black out, I ment the type that you fade from one movie clip to another.

Blur - I want to be able to type in the AS to blur a range of layers. I know I could make the layers into one big movie clip and use filters, but it get messy, and hard to do some animating in a movie clip without a chance of repeating the background scene.

AS Can just dynamically add/edit/remove the filters during playback. It's the same thing as if you did it manually with animation. You can't magically say "BLUR THIS LAYER!!", but you can do like "BLUR THESE MOVIECLIPS!" which, in the end, will be VERY tedious...it would be cool if you could treat layers as sub-movie clips in reference to the main stage...*sigh* oh well.

not really, could flatten everything so you woulnd't have different layers of colour fading.

you cna use AS but that would cause extreme slow down, could expandfill the selected areas.
