Grant Skinner’s OSX Squeeze Effect in AS3

By scott

First off, thank you Grant for releasing the source for your squeeze effect. Dirty code is better than no code. After looking at the source code I began to wonder how much better it would run in AS3 so I converted it. I didn’t clean up any of the code, just a straight conversion. It seems to run a little smoother. Next I am going to make it dynamic allowing you to load in an image passed in through flashVars. Maybe if I’m really bored I will set it up so you can load in multiple images from an xml file and build a gallery type app using this effect. Again, thanks Grant, as always, very cool work!
