Hi,  
According to the Flash documentation, resizing, rotating or any other transformation isn’t supported by the displacement Map Filter. I was wandering if there’s any way around it at all (I seem to recall that it was possible in AS2).  
I’m using a .png file from the library for the displacement and I want to randomly rotate and scale it to create a more natural water effect.

Thanks,  
Max
