Warp image on plane

i need to create a application in flash where i would need to warp a image on specific plane of a image, in photoshop i used the distort and warp command, my question is are there any tutorials out there i can read on how to do that. Whats the best way to go about it. i would need to load the image from the desktop then apply to transformation and show it.

should i use PixelBender or is this only to create filters. please if you have any ideas or pointers let me know.
