That was going to be an approach... and I would apply the "stretch" to the sides loaded in on top by hand in Photoshop (cementing the effect -- bad voodoo there). Then I thought it might be cool to do it using the BitmapData class somehow instead so I didn't need to worry about any cleanup, etc. as much as the image will be changing a lot, etc. I'm investigating Pixel Bender right now.
