I searched the forum and didn’t see what I need, so I figure I’d put this up for someone to take a stab at.

Is there any other way to create the “TV static” effect besides importing a handful of noise bitmaps into Flash and creating a movie?

I know how to make static that way, but I’m looking to create and effect that is a bit more complicated…and possibly lighter in .swf size.

If you’ve seen the latest E-trade commercial or heck really any show or movie, I want to have an image that is inturrupted intermittenly (sp?) with static (bad reception).

Any suggestions?

I’m not really good with AS2.0, but if someone has a suggestion that calls for it, I’m willing to burn some midnight oil.

Thanks. :thumb:
