Classpublic class FilterChain
InheritanceFilterChain Inheritance FragmentFilter Inheritance EventDispatcher Inheritance Object

The FilterChain allows you to combine several filters into one. The filters will be processed in the given order, the number of draw calls per filter adding up. Just like conventional filters, a chain may be attached to any display object.

Implementation
    public function get numFilters():int
Constructor Detail
FilterChain()Constructor
public function FilterChain(... args)

Creates a new chain with the given filters.

Parameters
... args
Method Detail
addFilter()method
public function addFilter(filter:FragmentFilter):void

Adds a filter to the chain. It will be appended at the very end.

Parameters

filter:FragmentFilter

addFilterAt()method 
public function addFilterAt(filter:FragmentFilter, index:int):void

Adds a filter to the chain at the given index.

Parameters

filter:FragmentFilter
 
index:int

dispose()method 
override public function dispose():void

Disposes the filter chain itself as well as all contained filters.

getFilterAt()method 
public function getFilterAt(index:int):FragmentFilter

Returns the filter at a certain index. If you pass a negative index, '-1' will return the last filter, '-2' the second to last filter, etc.

Parameters

index:int

Returns
FragmentFilter
getFilterIndex()method 
public function getFilterIndex(filter:FragmentFilter):int

Returns the index of a filter within the chain, or "-1" if it is not found.

Parameters

filter:FragmentFilter

Returns
int
removeFilter()method 
public function removeFilter(filter:FragmentFilter, dispose:Boolean = false):FragmentFilter

Removes a filter from the chain. If the filter is not part of the chain, nothing happens. If requested, the filter will be disposed right away.

Parameters

filter:FragmentFilter
 
dispose:Boolean (default = false)

Returns
FragmentFilter
removeFilterAt()method 
public function removeFilterAt(index:int, dispose:Boolean = false):FragmentFilter

Removes the filter at a certain index. The indices of any subsequent filters are decremented. If requested, the filter will be disposed right away.

Parameters

index:int
 
dispose:Boolean (default = false)

Returns
FragmentFilter
