Dynamic Addition of Instances to Motion Blur

In our last tutorial developed a dynamic motion blur. However, it was not completely dynamic since we were not able to add or subtract the number of instances. We referred to be dynamic because it was not created using hand-edited movie clips. One disadvantage of this approach is that once we compile the movie, the number of instances of the motion blur cannot be changed. In this tutorial we add new instances to the motion blur with the left button of the mouse.
