Hi list...
I'm trying to render a spherical earth using a DisplacementMapFilter out of a
flat movieclip of the landmasses but it isn't working too well for me. Any
suggestions? I'd appreciate hearing any ideas.
Thanks,

private function renderOrnament():Sprite{
var makeCirc:Function = function(isFront:Boolean, diam:uint):Shape{
// used for masks and displacement
var c:Shape = new Shape();
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.createGradientBox(diam,diam);
var colors:Array = (isFront !=
true)?[0xFFFFFF,0x000000]:[0x000000,0xFFFFFF];
c.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.RADIAL,
colors,[1,1],[0,255],m);
c.graphics.drawEllipse(0,0,diam,diam);
c.graphics.endFill();
return c;
}
// container
var orn:Sprite = new Sprite();
// front "hemisphere"
var fh:Sprite = new Sprite();
orn.addChild(fh);
// front world (World is a mc of all the continents)
frontWorld = new World();
fh.addChild(frontWorld);
// front world mask
var circleMask:Shape = makeCirc(true,200);
fh.addChild(circleMask);
frontWorld.mask = circleMask;
// front world displacement
fh.filters = [new DisplacementMapFilter(new BitmapData(200,200), new
Point(0,0), 1, 1,75, 75, DisplacementMapFilterMode.IGNORE, 1,0)];
return orn;
}
