[Tweener] Introducing FilmStrip

[Moses Gunesch]

Well, to be clear, Filmstrip does *not* run animation in realtime like
Tweener or other realtime animation engines do. It is essentially a render
engine for AS3. It isn't written to be used within live website code, intead
you'd just use it locally to generate video segments -- the same way you
might use a professional video program, and just wait for its render cycle
to finish. It's not terribly fast, sometimes it captures 100 images
sequentially to generate just one frame. Flash is single-threaded and not
hardware-based so there's only so fast it can go. To see how it runs on your
system, you should check out the project code and set up the examples. But
keep in mind, this project is not shooting for performance, it's just
providing a new capability for actionscript: rendering video out of flash.

Does that answer your question or am I missing what you're asking?
