created by using the GlowFilter constructor;
; and
filter_1 clonedFilter
evaluates as being equal to
filter_2
same values as
filter_1
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
var filter_1:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0x33CCFF, .8, 35, 35, 2, 3, false,
false);
var filter_2:GlowFilter = filter_1;
var clonedFilter:GlowFilter = filter_1.clone();
trace(filter_1 == filter_2); // true
trace(filter_1 == clonedFilter); // false
for(var i in filter_1) {
trace(">> " + i + ": " + filter_1[i]);
// >> clone: [type Function]
// >> strength: 2
// >> blurY: 35
// >> blurX: 35
// >> knockout: false
// >> inner: false
// >> quality: 3
// >> alpha: 0.8
// >> color: 3394815
}
for(var i in clonedFilter) {
trace(">> " + i + ": " + clonedFilter[i]);
// >> clone: [type Function]
