  2. I guess you’ve already seenthe DistortImage class of Sandy?

    http://sandy.media-box.net/blog/distortimage-20- the-fastest-way-to-freely-distort-image-with-flash-in -actionscript.html

    I’ve been using it in some projects and it works great.
    Your class of course gives another sort of distortion that may be usable in other situations.

    Thanks for your Delegate class by the way!

  3. Erik: this is basically the same thing as Sandy’s one (distortion using triangles). Both have the same kind of distortion. Sandy’s one automatically creates sub triangles, and that’s why it looks different.

  4. Alex Uhlmann also did some work with Sandy. He’s produced some AS3 effects that he showed at Max2006.

    His are using the triangles technique as well. his seems focused onto extending the flex framework though.

    Great stuff you have here -thanks for sharing, very impressed by the company’s work.
