This code is heavily based on the 3D flythrough post  I had written in AS2.  I rewrote it in AS3 since most of if not all of my 3D experiments are based on this engine.  The equation bellow moves each element's Z position to sync with...

Another version of the bitmapData lock. This time with rounded corner rectangles.  Using the drawing API, this experiment was a good opportunity to write a method.  Use the slider to increase the size of the squares. The experiment uses an...

Yesterday I posted an experiment that looked into the bitmapData lock method. One detail though is that you can invoke lock on a bitmapData that is not visible to users and in turn analyse it's data to  execute some arbitrary random function...like...

I was playing around the bitmapData class in AS3 and wanted to illustrate the use of the BitmapData.lock() method. Using this methods you can make changes to a bitmapdata object without rendering all those changes until the bitmap is unlocked. To improve...
