Definitely a step in the right dircection, but this chugs a bit on my [G5, 1GB ram, Safari, OSX10.4] after about 20 seconds of contant movement. Also, it’s not really accurate if you make circles with your mouse. I’m not trying to be a buzzkill, but figured I would give you my testing feedback.

Yep, there appears to be a memory leak somewhere - it was a quick proof-of-concept hack. Remember we’re playing with undocumented features here, so there are bound to be problems while we’re not 100% sure what everything does. But once Flash 8 is released and we have proper documentation I’ll be able to make it solid.
Thanks for the feedback Josh.

I think you’ll find the memory leak is because you’re using bitmapdata without using .dispose() to clear it from memory when replacing it.

This is excellent. Is there a chance you’ll release the source code? I can’t figure out how you solved the diagonal blur problem.
Cheers.
