Sonny,

Are you using Flash Player 10? … Shaders are only available in FP10 … so bendpixels requires it.

Hi, I am getting the following error. Can you please help
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Shader.

@Lars glad you like it

>> However i do not think we can use this in our application (financial flex application)
Why’s that? do you see any technical limitation .. or you just don’t want to use effects and transitions?

>> Instead we are looking at possibilities to use Pixel bender as a calculator for mathematical calculations
I’ve been thinking about that too .. heavy calculations in the Pixelbender kernel can give a good performance boost.

Quite cool – thanks for sharing

@Jay Yes these effects are just like any other flex effect and can be applied to any Flex Component, I’ve just used an mx:Image as an example.

Could these effects be applied directly to actual Flex widgets such as a Panel, Buttons, etc?
