vCam AS3 Interactive

April 07th, 2008 | Category: Flash

Note: Just released Beta 1.1.

Introducing vCam AS3 Interactive. The original vCam AS3 uses the BitmapData class to optimize performance during playback. When you view the vCam AS3 swf you are watching a bitmap transformation of the stage. While this is ideal for animation projects, it causes problems when you want to incorporate buttons or interactive elements into your presentation. I had a request this weekend for an interactive version of vCam AS3. This version will allow you to add interactive elements. However, you will notice a performance difference especially when applying the blur filter. The vCam AS2 already supports interactive elements since it does not use the BitmapData class for optimization.

    thanks a bunch. Not only for the great tool, but reading your code actually helped me understand the Bitmap class a little better.

    I noticed a performance difference alright, but in my case it was an overwhelmingly positive one, this is *much* faster than the bitmap version on fullscreen sites.

    I am only doing pan/zoom/rotation though, no blur.

    thanks so much for this wonderful tool :)

    Yeah, the original vCam AS3 was targeting animators doing cartoon sequences. I’m glad this one worked out for you =)
