Distortion Effects Package use in Actionscript 3 only project

[firdosh]

If you havent checked out the Ditortion Effects its at
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/auhlma...istor.cfm#more

Some real cool stuff.

I had emailed Alex about this package and he said that you can use it in a Actionscript 3 only project but I am not sure since it extends a few mx classes.

import mx.core.Container;
import mx.core.ContainerCreationPolicy;
import mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject;
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import mx.core.mx_internal;
import mx.effects.Tween;
import mx.effects.effectClasses.TweenEffectInstance;

So tried setting up the AS3 project

package {
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import com.adobe.ac.mxeffects.CubeRotate;		
	import com.adobe.ac.mxeffects.DistortionConstants;
	import flash.display.Shape;
	import mx.core.mx_internal;

	use namespace mx_internal;

	[SWF(width="800", height="600")]
	public class WebSiteEffects extends Sprite
	{
		public function WebSiteEffects()
		{
			
			var redRect:Shape=new Shape();
			redRect.graphics.lineStyle(0,0,1,true);
			redRect.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000,1);
			redRect.graphics.drawRect(10,10,200,200);
			redRect.graphics.endFill();
			this.addChild(redRect);
			
			var grRect:Shape=new Shape();
			grRect.graphics.lineStyle(0,0,1,true);
			grRect.graphics.beginFill(0x0000ff,1);
			grRect.graphics.drawRect(250,250,200,200);
			grRect.graphics.endFill();
			this.addChild(grRect);
			
			var e : CubeRotate;						
			e = new CubeRotate( redRect );
			e.siblings = [redRect];
			e.direction = DistortionConstants.LEFT;		
			e.duration = 1000;
			e.play();
			
		
		}
	}
}

And these are the compile time errors I get

Are you asking if this can be done is AS 2.0?

[firdosh]

No, I am trying to use the existing classes with an AS3 only project

[Tink]

it requires the Flex framework i would have thought

[firdosh]

so I cant just use it in an AS3 only project right ??

[firdosh]

I got an email from Alex Uhlmann saying that

the current distortion effects are AS3 only. You can use them in AS and MXML

but the base DitortionTwen class extends

mx.effects.effectClasses.TweenEffectInstance;

so this shouldnt work in an AS3 only project right ? or am I gettign this all wrong ?
