The DisplacementMapFilter class uses the pixel values from the specified BitmapData object (called the displacement map image) to perform a displacement of an object. You can use this filter to apply a warped or mottled effect to any object that inherits from the DisplayObject class, such as MovieClip, SimpleButton, TextField, and Video objects, as well as to BitmapData objects.

The use of filters depends on the object to which you apply the filter:

To apply filters to a display object, use the filters property of the display object. Setting the filters property of an object does not modify the object, and you can remove the filter by clearing the filters property.
To apply filters to BitmapData objects, use the BitmapData.applyFilter() method. Calling applyFilter() on a BitmapData object takes the source BitmapData object and the filter object and generates a filtered image.

If you apply a filter to a display object, the value of the cacheAsBitmap property of the display object is set to true. If you clear all filters, the original value of cacheAsBitmap is restored.

The filter uses the following formula:

dstPixel[x, y] = srcPixel[x + ((componentX(x, y) - 128) * scaleX) / 256, y + ((componentY(x, y) - 128) *scaleY) / 256)

where componentX(x, y) gets the componentX property color value from the mapBitmap property at (x - mapPoint.x ,y - mapPoint.y).

The map image used by the filter is scaled to match the Stage scaling. It is not scaled when the object itself is scaled.

This filter supports Stage scaling. However, general scaling, rotation, and skewing are not supported. If the object itself is scaled (if the scaleX and scaleY properties are set to a value other than 1.0), the filter effect is not scaled. It is scaled only when the user zooms in on the Stage.
