The Iris effect animates the effect target by expanding or contracting a rectangular mask centered on the target. The effect can either enlarge the mask from the center of the target to expose the target, or contract the mask toward the center to obscure the target.

	Property		Defined By
		applyTransitionEndProperties : Boolean This flag controls whether the effect, when run in a transition, automatically applies the property values according to the end state, as opposed to leaving values as set by the effect itself.	Effect
		endValuesCaptured : Boolean = false A flag containing true if the end values of an effect have already been determined, or false if they should be acquired from the current properties of the effect targets when the effect runs.	Effect

	Summary	Defined By
effectEnd	Dispatched when one of the effect's instances finishes playing, either when the instance finishes playing or when the effect is interrupted by a call to the end() method.	Effect
effectStart	Dispatched when the effect starts playing.	Effect
effectStop	Dispatched when the effect has been stopped, which only occurs when the effect is interrupted by a call to the stop() method.	Effect
tweenEnd	Dispatched when the effect ends.	MaskEffect
tweenStart	Dispatched when the effect starts, which corresponds to the first call to the onMoveTweenUpdate() and onScaleTweenUpdate() methods.	MaskEffect
