Blur tool - not blurring!

Hi - i really hope someone can help.

I've got a strange problem with the blur tool. I have a movie clip that i have added a motion tween to and applied a blur to it - so the movie clip image blurs as it moves.

This was working perfectly when i first tested it and as i've continued with the creating the flash file and re-tested for some reason the blur is no longer displaying. It's strange as it shows as blurred in the Flash file i'm editing but when i press F12 to display in a SWF it's not blurring.

I've attached the file i'm working on - Can anyone help shed some light on this please?

Thanks
(using Flash 8).

It might have something to do with the movieclip being 4041.4 pixels wide. From the Help Files, AS2.0 Language Reference, BlurFilter (flash.filters.BlurFilter):
"A filter is not applied if the resulting image exceeds 2880 pixels in width or height. If, for example, you zoom in on a large movie clip with a filter applied, the filter is turned off if the resulting image exceeds the limit of 2880 pixels."

Thank you so much! - That's hit the nail on the head! Will bear that in mind for future.
