Well for the water, you can do a ripple effect if you want, here’s a tutorial for that: [http://www.freehandsource.com/\_test/ripple.html](http://www.freehandsource.com/_test/ripple.html) As for the text, there are tons of tweening effects you can use, just search around for text effects. ---

There’s no need for fancy AS when all you want to do is move the text, you can use simple motion tweens for that. ---
