update

I have been experimenting with trying different ways to make this project work. It looks as though hitTest is still the best way forward. I have spent too many hours trying to call a class function from the fla file to no avail. Its very helpful that I kept legacy versions of this project because it turns out that one of the very first of them was on the right track. I just had to add an else statement to the function. The next step is refining the filters so that they do different things depending on what object is activated by the users movement. The overall feel of this installation is supposed to be one of calm and to evoke a meditative state, the latter implies the viewer being not only aware of her movements have an effect on the installation but also of producing a continual awareness of themselves in the space.
