Applying a MotionBlur Filter

Similar code can be used to blur the text in a document. Again create an array of points to 
designate an area of the document. This time the width is defined as the distance from the 
middle of the document to the far right side. The vertical positioning remains the same. 

Select the right side of the document and apply a motion filter with parameters that define the 
angle and radius of the blur. Then remove the selection so that the "marching ants" disappear 
from the dialog. 

To finish up, set application preferences back to their original values. 

selRegion = Array(Array(docWidthInPixels / 2, 0), 

                  Array(docWidthInPixels, 0), 

                  Array(docWidthInPixels, docHeightInPixels), 

                  Array(docWidthInPixels / 2, docHeightInPixels), 

                  Array(docWidthInPixels / 2, 0));

docRef.selection.select(selRegion);

newTextLayer.applyMotionBlur(45, 5);

docRef.selection.deselect();

app.preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;

app.preferences.typeUnits = startTypeUnits;

app.displayDialogs = startDisplayDialogs;

This code snippet removes the "marching ants" and blurs the text on the right side of the 
document.
