Link: Cool Actionscript 3 ‘Genie’ effect

by James on 17th September, 2009 in ActionScript

This is an awesome link that Mark sent around the other day – a cool Mac-esque ‘Genie’ effect.

That effect is all very cool, but even more surprising is that it seems to be an Actionscripted effect, rather than a Pixel Bender effect. You can find the blog post from the guy that created this here, and even better can find a live online example here.

@Ashi – There’s not currently an AS2 version of that effect, but in theory you could rewrite the code back into an AS2 version. I don’t know how well it would work, but you could do it!
