g.wygonik's flash experiments

while of course i'm testing all existing sites with the beta Flash 8 player, i'm also playing with all the cool stuff people are "discovering".

while there are a growing number of filter experiments floating about the web, here's one i did that demonstrates the coolness of being able to draw (and query) pixels in user-created bitmaps.

Color Picker: http://lab.artificialcolors.com/f8/color_picker.html

Source: http://lab.artificialcolors.com/f8/color_picker.zip (or .FLA if you want just that)

yup - we're actually _drawing_ the color picker area pixel by pixel, line by line, then grabbing the RGB color underneath the mouse pointer. certainly being able to grab the color values of pixels is going to be one of those "huge" features for all sorts of visualizations and effects.

of course you need the Flash 8 Beta player, and you'll need to flip the version bit in the SWF if you recompile this code.

good times.
