Math.abs() is using a lot of memory?

Thanks both for the reply from both of you

Probably draw a sprite, apply X filter, extract its bitmapdata, draw image

Is there a example on the internet on how to extract its bitmap data, draw image. Because I have only been drawing images rather than extracting the bitmap data.(is there a advantage of this).

See if this helps:

    var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
    sp.graphics.lineStyle(3,0xffffff);
    sp.graphics.moveTo(0,0);       //Draws line from (0,0)
    sp.graphics.lineTo(100,100);   //To (100,100)

    var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
    sp.filters = [glow];

    var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(sp.width,sp.height); //Probably the bit
    bmd.draw(sp);                                        //you're interested in

    var img:Image = new Image(bmd);

I’m not sure this works, but it should.
(and no, there is no advantage to this, but only this way you can apply AS3 filters.)

I’d reeeally like to stress this. My solution is not efficient at all, and has probably made @Ultima2876 cringe.

Thanks, I will test both methods when I can access my pc (as i’m on my phone) Then stress test them, but I couldn’t remember that you can stretch images / sprite because I tried on like my first day on flash punk, so I will retry I as soon as possible.
