[away3d] ExLayer -> Perplexed regarding filters?

[seacloud9]

I have been working with the following I have my models brought them
in from Prefab.
I have been looking at http://www.wemakedotcoms.com/_exp/hype/900Cubes/main.html
and applied some filters the same way he did with the hype framework.
That proved to be a costly error because I spent upwards of 8 hours
tracking down why I couldn't click on my fish in my fish tank. The
reason was because I had applied the filter to a layer that was higher
than everything else and as a result it would capture all my clicks :
( So the I started looking at applying the filters to only the fish
and some other objects but I can't ever see the filter I won't break
but it never renders.

Then I was looking at http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/branches/lite/bin/ExLayer.swf
and that works well their I am perplexed though because I can't seem
to get a filter:(

///////////////////////////////
var fish:Object3D=twFishOne;
// twFishOne is a class of TwFish1 extends ObjectContainer3D this was
put together with PreFab
//


var layer:Sprite = new Sprite();

view.scene.addChild(fish);
fish.layer = layer;
view.addChild(fish.layer);
fish.layer.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFFFFFF, 1, 40, 40, 80, 1)];
fish.layer.filters =[new BlurFilter(2,20,1)];
twFishOne.name = "fish" + i;

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

In short this is what I am trying to make it look like only clickable:
You can zoom around with the scroll wheel.

http://i-create.org/actionscript/sweetTides/TweetTank1.html
http://i-create.org/actionscript/sweetTides/TweetTank2.html - without
filters

In the end I would like the experiment to be something kind of like
this that I worked on with webGL but you won't be able to see unless
you have a firefox nightly build. It is a 3D mashup of twitter
results. I want the flash version analyze the sound and have the fish
swim and glow to the music. I am really stuck on this layer thing
filter issue right now.

Another question can I make a filter that is attached to the whole
view port or stage non-interactive ?

Anyway If I can get this to work I will be more than happy to repost
the code so others can learn from it as well. Thanks for the advice.

Never mind figured it out ended up passing the view into the new class
and then where the materials are built I add the Filters there!!!!!!!
