colorextractI found a blog post that shows not only how to reduce colors, but then  how to get unique and contrasting colors. This is great for product shots that have small areas of interest and big blank areas.

alchemyAs the name would imply, it’s almost like magic. Now flash has a real chance of becoming more then any one would have ever thought.  Alchemy brings the power of high performance C and C++ libraries to Web applications with minimal degradation on AVM2.  The C/C++ code is compiled to ActionScript 3.0 as a SWF or SWC that runs on Adobe Flash Player 10 or Adobe AIR 1.5.

For the release on Adobe labs there has been two ported libraries, ActionScript 3 OggVorbis Library and ActionScript 3 Crypto Wrapper as well the port of the famous game doom.

Alchemy is found in adobe labs.

:: UPDATE :: be sure to get the next upgrade for Kimili Flash Embed 2.0. This is found here. This update is not found on the download page but in a post that was just added to the blog at kimili.com

I just found out that if you upgrade you wordpress to version 2.7 and are using the Kimili Flash Embed plugin that it will brake the back end from being able to write or edit the main html text areas in posts and pages
