The flash.filters package
The flash.filters package contains classes for the bitmap filter effects available in Flash Player
8. Filters let you apply rich visual effects, such as blur, bevel, glow, and drop shadows, to
Image and MovieClip instances. For more information on each class, see the cross references
provided in the following table.
Class Description

instance. See BevelFilter (flash.filters.BevelFilter).
