Ripple Efect

hi, I was wondering if there’s a ripple effect with flash 8?, like when you throw something in the water?

Thanks in advance!

You could do it with some complicated masking. I also know Aftereffects could do it.

gee that won’t be easy to do with filters and displacement maps

you should use masking as you were using older versions of flash, it’s easier

hope someone has a source code tough :slight_smile:

it’s not done by complex masking

the key is to mask a single stroke of lets say 15pixels, and move it on top of the orginal mask, to get even more depth just add another masked layer, with a slightly lower speed

t’s not by far the most dynamic sollution but it works like a charm

eesh yea ive been trying the water effect in flash forever now but im a noob so
