Hi everyone, I’m trying to create a cool effect to load some pictures I have on my site. Pretty much I want them to animate like the pic below (where each pic is a frame). The problem is that I’m using effects in Illustrator (wave warp and glass filter) because I don’t know how/if there is a way to replicate those effects in flash and then importing each frame from Illustrator (annoying). So, I need a ton of frames which makes the file size of the swf way too big. Is there an easier way to achieve what I’m trying to do? Thanks.
