This class will allow you to create a pixellated copy of any display object.
It allows for varying pixel sizes and caching of rendered pixels so you don’t have to redraw them every time.
Usage is as follows:
var myMoz:Mosaic = new Mosaic(yourDisplayObj:DisplayObject, pixelSize:uint, useCache:Boolean);
addChild(myMoz);
or
var myMoz:Mosaic = new Mosaic(yourDisplayObj);
myMoz.pixelSize = 10;
myMoz.render();
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

What does this mean for papervision 3d? I know a lot of the tools that team has built will soon become redundant but what of their work can they keep? Texture mapping perhaps, camera movement (I don’t think adobe’s version of 3d accounts for a camera in space)
Also, with Adobe’s tools, can you create a cube in 3d (say by rotating and aligning 6 sides) and then rotate that cube as a whole in 3d space?
I’ve put my freelance lifestyle on hold for a while since I’ve had a full time job but I am now looking for freelance projects I can do in the off hours (6pm – 8am and weekends)
If you’re looking for a Flash developer, UI designer or general web genius™ please feel free to contact me at julian(at this domain).
I’m located in St. Louis, MO if that makes any difference but I’m available worldwide. that may actually be a benefit to a company located in the UK since the time difference would allow me to be at available during their daytime office hours.
I’m currently working on an AIR app that will load a SWF, take screen grabs at a selected interval and then load the screen grabs back in and allow you to scrub back and forth through them.
The main purpose for this is that many things my coworkers and I do at RT is entirely dynamic and code based with very little on the timeline. This app allows for selecting a specific frame in any SWF, code or timeline based, and for playing back the animation many times repeatedly.
A side benefit to the app is that when creating backup GIFs for banner ads, if you run your banner through this app, will spit out cropped captures of your banner ad and may speed up the most boring part of banner ad creation.
If you’re feeling daring you can install this alpha version of SWF Capture and see how it works
I’ve got a lot of features left to build in but this does the basics.
Also, if you’re interested I’ve got my Flapture FLV Capture toolavailable too. It automates one screen grab per FLV for a folder full of FLVs and was how I learned the basics of AIR.
It ain’t much but this is what 0 – 1 hr of PHP knowledge and 4 months of AS3 knowledge will get you in an afternoon.
