basicaly a bump… cause I want to know how it’s done too. 🙂

I think that you will need to explain what method you used, and then provide a link to the source FLA that you’re working on. I see the effect you’re attempting, and it’s quite neat…

Hey FatBeat, I think this is what you migh be looking for. I created a Movie Clip with the hexagons in it and masked the picture.
