Wow, very nice way of getting raw data.
Kind of reminds me of the way ImageLoader smoothes a dynamic image.
Grabbing the raw bits or bitmap data and putting in a empty object to
then read or smooth and then working with that object.
I'm going to have to catch up on the AIR experience i think..
Thanks for that post Anthony.
Best,
Karl
PS: I would love it if you could edit graphics inside Flash as if you
were in Photoshop. Pass it along..

Well only for air 2.0; which, is pretty useful for the desktop;
yet, not so useful for the browser, unless Adobe decides to give us
access in the player. I have all kinds of conspiracy theories to
explain why they won't; yet, I feel the most relevant is the
developers ability to bypass the need for their server for
communications by rolling their own solution.
I am not sure if I am right or wrong; however, if I am right, Adobe
has very little need to worry, for:
-they are miles ahead of anyone trying to compete
-they have implemented a need to connect to the com server at least
once to go p2p
-why would a company invest in rolling their own if all the
capabilities they need are already developed in comparably
affordable product?
-do they really need to care if someone makes their own server,
when it promotes the status of the flash player to indispensable
and godlike in the browser?
-The more capabilities the developer has, the more likely Adobe is
to sell a million or more copies of the flash professional IDE, and
all the tied in applications required in the workflow; even though
I think the ide should be able to do everything including bitmap
editing and much better project management with modern code
completion that can be turned off and on to save resources.
(OT... A better interface for project management, combined with
better syntax highlighting and modern code completion, would be
required before a lot of people I know would decide to buy the next
version of the flash IDE. For animators their are some that demand
it do 3d too, and that would be lovely; yet, I would settle for
better line quality with my wacom tablet for animation without
having to decrease the space the wacom controls and totally
throwing off my muscle memory, plus the ability to get the vector
point data without a plugin)
