[F8] FPS Throttle, Lightmapping

Hey people,

I want to know if any of you have developed or experimented with throttling your fps using setInterval() or some other function. Basically what I want to do is control how slowly my frames render so that they're gauranteed to draw no slower than a specified minimum speed.

More importantly, where can I find a decent and in-depth tutorial on using BitmapData? What I'm hoping to do is use dynamic lightmapping on 2D sprites and backgrounds, but it would be alot easier to plan if I knew what the API is capable of. I think there's some support for an actual "lighting" filter, but I was planning on using grayscale overlays.

Thanks,

how about a seperate light- layer (as movieClip) and setting it´s blending mode to softLight ? Within that movieCLip put light colors (or script them,...) that will affect the one beneath

Here's a very good, in-depth tutorial --> http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/ar...image_api.html
