motion blur effect

[kobran]

I've seen many Flash sites with sophisticated motion blur effects fro text and JPEGS - it looks as if they've blurred the text in Photoshop and then IMPORTED that back into Flash to use with unblurred text in a motion tween...Is that how it's done? Or is there another way to achieve a zoom/motion blur effect - that makes text look like it's being quickly yanked off the screen?

Such effects (especially with text) are generally made with actionscript and motion tweens. I personally can recommend SWFx by Wildform (http://www.wildform.com/). It took me less than a minute to make this effect:

Best of all this program is only $19.99US. Great value.

Alternatively, if you want to try it manually, there are some tutorials at http://www.flashkit.com .

SWFx is waht you want. Wildform are the creators of both Flix and SWFx. They're both great products but only one does what you want.
