Ever wanted to have split screen in your flash animations? with the aid of vCam 2.5 in ActionScript 3.0 now you can.

I've modified the original vCam by Brian Heisey to allow the user to have multiple virtual cameras active at once, each projecting a different image onto the workspace.
You can now:
-Dynamically instantiate virtual cameras
-Change the height, width and the offset of the projected images
-have views centered around and following different objects on the screen.

In addition to the original features of vCam 1.0:
-Scaling and rotation still distort the image.
-You can apply filters such as glowing to each camera to make the projected image look even cooler.
-You can choose which object to project the camera's image too (removing the nesscity of caching objects as bitmaps).
