quality (BevelFilter.quality property)
public quality : Number
The number of times to apply the filter. The default value is 1, which is equivalent to low
quality. A value of 2 is medium quality, and a value of 3 is high quality. Filters with lower
values are rendered more quickly.
For most applications, a
quality
value of 1, 2, or 3 is sufficient. Although you can use
additional numeric values up to 15 to achieve different effects, larger values are rendered more
slowly. Instead of increasing the value of
quality
, you can often get a similar effect, and with
faster rendering, by simply increasing the values of
blurX
and
blurY
.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
Example
The following example changes the
quality
property on the existing MovieClip instance
(
rect
) when a user clicks it:
import flash.filters.BevelFilter;
var rect:MovieClip = createBevelRectangle("BevelQuality");
rect.onRelease = function() {
var filter:BevelFilter = this.filters[0];
filter.quality = 1;
this.filters = new Array(filter);
}
function createBevelRectangle(name:String):MovieClip {
var w:Number = 100;
var h:Number = 100;
var bgColor:Number = 0x00CC00;
var rect:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(name,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
rect.beginFill(bgColor);
rect.lineTo(w, 0);
rect.lineTo(w, h);
rect.lineTo(0, h);
rect.lineTo(0, 0);
rect._x = 20;
rect._y = 20;
var filter:BevelFilter = new BevelFilter(5, 45, 0xFFFF00, .8, 0x0000FF,
.8, 20, 20, 1, 3, "inner", false);
rect.filters = new Array(filter);
return rect;
}
