Have you ever tried to make a “Photshop style” color picker gradient in ActionScript 3.0?
I have! Here it is! pretty colors are neat!
This example builds upon the color scpectrum examples by boostworthyisryantaylor (http://www.boostworthy.com/blog/?p=200) and Paul Coyle’s AngularColour (http://paulcoyle.com/)
And here’s the code PhotoshopStyleColorPicker
Ever since the crash of WCSMT, we’ve thinking about the way to bring it back out little home-brew experiment a sustainable presentation. Plans were drawn, sketches made and a new version is in full development.
So here are some announcements regarding the near future of WCSMT:
All animated .gifs will be deleted by Dec 9th, 2008
If you are fond of any particular animation you created, download it now.
It pains me to take these offline but we gotta make room for the new version to come. Of course this animations are backed up and we’ll put them back online when we find some space.
The new version should roll also in DECEMBER 9th 2008 
For the time being, we are dropping the animated gif format as our presentation format, as it is very bulky to store and transmit. Instead we are switching to PNG files, played back by a custom flash player embedded on HTML.
However it will be possible to download all animations as animated .gif for those who want to store the animations themselves.
Animations will have a 20 frame limit, instead of 10 and will have greater resolution.
Animations will have an expire date, after which they will be deleted to make room for the newer ones and keep things in a manageable size. We have yet to determine what is the best expiry time on our animations. We appreciate suggestions.
There will be some minimum ads on the site.
Animations will be moderated.
These are some screenshots of the new version:
Sorry for the delay in updates. Current Piterwilson.com projects are not abandened. Things are howeever, very busy , there is more updates to current projects coming really soon.
can’t wait!
thanks 
xo
peeowwwww what a hunk
Can’t wait to see all higher res penii wagging around
i cannot wait! you can do SO MUCH with an extra 10 frames.
1 month<3
I understand the need for moderation but it was the sense of wild adventure that made it so fun before.
I can’t wait. Thanks!
woooo it’s coming back!!!!!
yyyyeesssss
Hooray! Perhaps less penises? That would be lovely
Boooooo to moderation.
Cool!!!
I’M SO EXCITED LMFAO
all the animations are going to be deleted?? xD
HURRAY!!
i can’t wait for it:D
moderation takes the fun out of this. I like the surprise of seeing boobs and dicks
YES!
i can’t wait.
thank you.
i think the limit should be like 1 – 3 weeks if thats too short, then a month. i don’t see the point in having them for longer than a month if they are going to be deleted. if you want to save them then save them right away :p
I hope you bring back allowing to browse back and see all the animations in the order they were uploaded. I really liked that.
The way it takes the shot is way too long! I preferred it when it was instant. Bring it back please.
I agree, having the 3 seconds is a nice feature but the instantaneous shot was also key. Any way you can make it an option to use either?
The flashing colored blocks are going to give me a seizure, please make them go away. Also very slow.
the timer is nice for some things, but it would be great to be able to disable it for SWEET ACTION SHOTS, etc.
I agree with Rick about the flashing colored blocks
ouch
Howwww do we save them to our computers?!
Yeah, the site seems to have lost some of its “pep” with the addition of the colored blocks and the 3 second timer. Half of the images dont show up for me because of those colored blocks 
Hi! Love the stop motion animation. I have a question though, didn’t know how else to contact you.
I recently made a GIF but it’s only showing up as a link when I try to save it to my computer:
Here it is:

Hopefully you can help, thanks!
@Sheila : Try again! its fixed
Great fun! I have two tiny suggestions that shouldn’t be much work: 1. make the timer optional. 2. make an onionskin that shows the last captured frame at 50% transparency to help with lining up the next shot.
A sample class to make a dynamic pie chart in Actionscript 3, it includes a sample Tooltip class.
Hey! Since you helped make FLipbook! in benetton, I was wondering if you know why I can’t sign up for benetton. I’ve tried it a few times now, but after i finish the form, it says “an email has been sent your address”. But it’s never in my inbox! I know I spelled it right too. Do you know why? My email is garymatic@gmail.com.

You saved me at least 10 hours of work!!!

Hey Piter,
This is great work! However, I was wondering if there was a way to display the labels automatically without having to mouseover the piechart? Any suggestions?
Thank you for this. I am on a deadline and this code saved me

Hey, do you think you could send me this in a CS4 format? Thanks.

Sorry Joel, not sure how to do that. This is an Actionscript mini-project.
