When you embed it, you need to set the wmode parameter to "direct". Exactly how you do that depends on how you're embedding it, but you want to end up with: <param name="wmode" value="direct"> within the <object> tag that embeds your SWF. I hope that helps you!

It's work fine in stand alone FP11, but not in the web browser. please I need some advices. thank you in advance I got this error message “Context3D not available”.

Thanks a bunch. I have been looking for a pixel bender based cross-fade effect precisely like the one from your second example. Thanks a bunch.

Great work, maybe I'll implement something similar in a future project, thank you for the inspiration :) Forget that comment actually, I was talking rubbish, I hadn’t realised that the starting point was the pink blob!

However the whole project can use as many textures as as memory permits. A typical case would be to have a single shader that is sequentially given vertex data and texture(s) for a series of batches of items to draw. 7 FS registers means that each shader can only access 8 textures at a time.

Seems very limiting, I must be missing something! Also I have managed to write a fog shader with fog colour, fog start and fog end variables. (The only other one I found on google sucked)..

I think I would also compare distance player to aponant as to make oponant ie. aware of the player and ifnot, then aware of another objective or target. I like to also give my oponant players that second/third,more goal or function.
