Parsing images

[spewperb]

Does anyone know about parsing bitmap images with actionscript 3? I want to be able to import an image which shows were obstacles and bonuses are placed in a game?

You make it a BitmapData object so you get matrix of information. From then on it's "signal processing" (image recognition) and alot of math that probably you have to figure out on your own. I am not aware of some pre-made tool for that kind of thing for flash. I would check at universities' sites for relevant info. We had a course on image processing in which we did such things but in MATLAB...
Maybe you can find something for MATLAB and then see if it can be applied/converted to AS3. Don't expect it to be easy though.
