In my code the screencapture is not inserted into any group. If you need to place other display objects on top of the capture you need to put it into the sceneGroup in your code. sceneGroup:insert(capture)
Awesome! Thank you!
Use filter.blurGaussian with caution! My app was really slow on my iPad and even my powerful iMac turned the fan on when I used the simulator. After some hours searching I finally found out that the filter.blurGaussian caused it.
How frequently were you blurring?
15 of 35 scenes had one background image with the blur effect. I use composer.removeHidden() to remove all the scenes in the background.
It seemed like the app slowed down pretty quickly after the first scene. Everything was lagging like I had 10 fps 
I ended up making the blurred images in photoshop and the app worked perfectly again 
You can use the blur filter, save a snapshot of the image, destroy the original and then load the snapshot. Only need to do this the first time the app is loaded. I did this when I needed 500 pics all to have a random filter applied.
That was really clever B) I didn’t bother to find a workaround since I only had 15 pics, but if I have more on another project I will use your trick
