Hello,

I searched for the effect I want to create on many sites but couldn’t find it.  
I’m new to Flash so maybe somebody could help.

So, what I want to do is a fade transition between two jpg images: while the first fades to white (or “nothing”), in the same time the next images becomes  
gradually visible, (fades in), during an interval of let’s say 3 seconds.

BUT, I don’t want the fadings to be linear. I want each of the two fading effects to have a water ripple effect during the fading time.  
Would this kind of transition be possible to be done…?

Also, is it possible that I don’t effectively import the jpg files into the library, but point to them as external files, through a link?

Thanks!
