You could make different frames in photoshop, and then import them into flash and stick them in a movieclip. that would work.

I thought about that, but I choose the twirl effect  
depend on mouse pinter movement.  
Imagine that your finger is mouse point, and water  
is my picture. Move your finger through the water.  
I want that effect and little twirl, waves or something.

P.S.  
I’m making web page for my mother. She is a painter (artist).  
Main menu has four colors as buttons. On rollOver event  
I need mixing one color with white.

what do you mean? you mean you want it to appear a colour between it’s normal colour and white? as for the twirl… the only way i can think of doing it is to break image up into lots of little pixels, then add some real complex funky actionscript to each, and then do it that way. I saw a Javascript script to create this effect once, but i have lost it now. sorry. i will have a search for it though.

lol

I’m not fully understanding what you mean, but if you are meaning that you want the area arounf the mouse to fade from black to white, then couldn’t you just create a graphic and drag it?

I thought about that also. I think it’s more better to have AS code for some wave effect or similar. As somebody said there was Javascript with that effect, but I want Flash MX (or Director).

At least, I’ll find what I want somewhere. Thanks for your posts.
