Nice! Next step is to get real-time bump-mapping of that background
image depending on the direction of the light.

<first post> Hello community,
As a test of Player9's performace I created a simple lens flare
effect using the drawing API. The results seem pretty impressive
to me. Take a look...

On my laptop the performance is silky smooth in a mpderatly sized
browser window. The frame rate will drop to 4 or 5fps at the
least. It's interesting to note that in the standalone player the
performace is noticable increased.
Development? It was suprsingly easy to build. Essentially it's a
bunch of Shape objects with radial gradients and
BlendModes. (There's a more detailed description of it's
construction here <http://blog.wheelerstreet.com/?p=121> .)
Usage? While I can't really see this componet used in the kinda
apps usually developed in Flex it does point to the breadth of the
platform.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
