Commarts Webpick of the Week
The UI is enriched by sampling the colours from the video. I used BitmapData.merge to gradually step through the colour changes, creating a smooth, fluid effect. Here’s the code:
private var _multiplier:uint = 32;
public function set videoFrame(bitmapData: BitmapData): void {
bitmapData.lock();
bitmapData.applyFilter(bitmapData, _rect, _point, _colorMatrixFilter); // saturation and contrast
bitmapData.applyFilter(bitmapData, _rect, _point, _blurFilter);
_bitmapData.merge(bitmapData, _rect, _point, _multiplier, _multiplier, _multiplier, 0);
bitmapData.unlock();
}
