WindowBlur
Blurs a background (MovieClip or Sprite) behind a transparent window (MovieClip or Sprite). Based on Pixelfumes AS2 class.
From the site:
I was checking out a website yesterday when it suddenly reminded me of a Pixelfumes experiment I remembered seeing many moons ago. After finding it with a quick Google search, just for kicks, I decided to play around and update the idea to AS3.
