Check out the vid:

The demo used BitmapData along with the “difference” blendmode to extract the edges from the webcam feed. Using BitmapData’s hitTest method, I was able to check whether my sprite is hitting an edge. This was a pretty quick and simple demo (1hr and 147 lines of code! Woot!), so that I could actually see this thing in action. “Line Rider” anyone?

I came across a quick little demo I threw together in my early attempts of using TweenLite and the BitmapData class. Check it out below:

And I’m not quite sure why I did it, but I added a rollover effect on the dots as well…go ahead, put your mouse over those dots, you know you want to!

Looking back at this, and some recent BitmapData work, I’m getting a bit excited and starting to crave some more experimental work, I’ve already got a few ideas in mind! Superfluous rollover effects and all! :)
