Hi again.

I actually found the answer to my own question about the transparent png.

In the Mosaic.as I changed the getPixel function to getPixel32.

var color:uint = bmd.getPixel(colorX , colorY);
to
var color:uint = bmd.getPixel32(colorX , colorY);

Let me know if there is a problem with this.

Hey Julian.

This is really cool, but do you know if this can be done with a png that has a transparent background?

Cordially
Vayu

I Just updated the zip again. this Time I did it with pixel bender. super fast!
Note: this only work with flash 10.

If you don’t have flash 10, I could show you how to use flash develop with the flex 4 sdk to compile flash 10 for free.

The BitmapData.draw() only happens once. Thats the slowest method of the class.

I have got this to work with video at 3 pixel size at 60fps with no problem

this is really fast, the only thing I could think to make this work faster would be to use a Vector class.

I guess I would need to see a real world use where I would need the cashed shape.

One thing missing now though is the caching I had built in. That way once you draw a 10px Mosaic, you can access it again at any time without redrawing it.
