Thanks! Now it works. But it takes a few seconds for the spherize
effect to happen. I'm getting millisecond values of over 2000. Is
that normal?

Yes, for pixel pushing like this. You could make a lower quality
variant by using copypixels to cut the image into small rects and apply them
as transformed quads. Like a mesh.

I havn't tried, but maybe a much faster spherize filter could be created by using the flash 8 xtra and BitmapData.applyFilter with DisplacementMapFilter (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002169.html)?
