Kinect now accessible from Flash

Flash/Flex developers out there: good news, libfreenect can now be hooked into ActionScript 3 - thanks to Juan Carlos del Valle. This allows you to create (local and remote) Flash/Flex applications that directly interact with the Kinect. Here's a video demo:

If you're interested, do a git clone git://github.com/imekinox/openkinect.git and check out the actionscript directory (library resides in org/libfreenect). To get a test running, compile test_depth.as and test_rgb.as with mxmlc, and make sure as3-server (for c/examples) is running.
