To Use
Click the images in the corners to switch from seeing the alien's skin, guts, and skeleton. Drag the viewer around to see different parts of the alien's anatomy. Click the dimmed circles under the vertical sliders to enable effects like swirl, magnify, rotate, snow, and colorize. Adjust the sliders to change the settings of the active effects. Notice that all of the effects can be applied at one time! Once you have moved the viewer around some more and convinced yourself that this is indeed an extra terrestrial and that AlphaMania + Effector Sets is, in fact, the coolest thing ever, purchase the full bundle set and call Fox Mulder.

How it works
The viewer consists of an AlphaMania sprite for the visible part of the viewer, and another one for the hole in the shell that is used to apply effects. The skeleton, skin, and guts are 'cut-through' using AlphaMania's Reveal draw method applied to the hole sprite. This drawing method lets you specify any bitmap castmember as a source, and it will then mask and 'cut through'. There are three drawing methods in AlphaMania, and all are fully controllable and very powerful.

The effects are just a small sample of the effects included in AlphaMania + Effector Sets.
