Great way to smoothly distort Bitmap Data. Everything can distorted using this technique.
I have been searching for exactly this thing and I wasted a lot of time for coding in CS3. Finally I get the solution from you.

Thank You a lot

if any body want to add text pls change lines of code as follows,

var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.text = “Republic of Code”;
myText.textColor = 0xFF0000;
bitmapdata=new BitmapData(myText.width,myText.height,true,0);
bitmapdata.draw(myText);
bitmap = new Bitmap();
bitmap.bitmapData = bitmapdata;

Hi Brain,
I don’t have a vector version for this, the text in the example is just a transparent bitmap.
If you want to use text, you can do something like this:

var tf:TextField;
var bmd:BitmapData =new BitmapData(tf.width,tf.height,true,0);
bmd.draw(tf);
….beginBitmapFill(bmd, null, false, true);

If you don’t want to use bitmaps, but do it pure vector, you should check out this: http://www.lidev.com.ar/?p=258

Can you post the source for the text version of this — I modified it but can’t seem replicate the vector effects by redrawing the bitmap data from a text field.

[...] my previous post about Envelope distortion Fabrice Closier made a short but very interesting comment. He suggested nurbs. With nurbs a 3D mesh [...]

Using this for nurbs is actually a great idea. I’m going to try that. Thanks Fabrice!

Great post. The demo looks good. I’ll check the code.

Thanks.
