2D Fisheye / Tsunami effect on grid of squares/tiles

Greetings

I’m sure youre all familiar with the Flex component over at http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/2006/04/25/new-component-2d-fisheye-v02/ . But since I don’t have Flex and I only need this effect on 16 (4x4) tiles, I was wondering if anyone could help me get started in the right direction, in Flash 9, AS2.0.

Does anyone know of any tutorials or script examples I could look at? Or even any other examples of this effect on other websites. Anything can help.

I started out making a very long script for the first square, which basically consisted of 15 tweens. Didnt take me long before I realised I would have to do this all over again, if I suddenly needed 5x5 or even just 4x5.

So, like i said. You help is always greatly apreciated.
