Dream Wash Transition

I started messing around with some more BitmapData stuff last night and came up with this transition which is a combination of perlinNoise, DisplacementMapFilter, blendMode and some simple alpha fading. Other than that, I don't have much more to say, so go ahead and click on the "Picture 1", "Picture 2", and "Picture 3" buttons to see the transition in action.
