'lo all Apologies if this is an old topic, but I can't find anything in the Flashcoders archives, and Google just throws up some gnomic "it's possible" blog comments without any actual hints on *how* it's possible...
I'm attempting to perspective distort a bitmap to use as a floor in a parallax scene - I achieved a similar effect in oldskool Flash 6 (lots of progressively xscaled, 1px high masked MCs, yuck) at http://www.pd3.co.uk, but I'm sure such a thing should be possible in Flash 8 using a DisplacementMap filter. Does anyone have a good idea how this could be achieved? I've been spending a very long time staring at Photoshop, trying to come up with the right combination of gradients for the displacement map, but all I have to show is a headache and a nagging sense that I'm missing something... Of course, a more direct approach would be to slice & scale the source image using a whole bunch of draw()s and a Matrix with a changing xscale, but it feels like a Displacement would be a cleaner option? Happy Friday!
