hi guys, i got a question, i saw an effect on a site (this one: [www.in-visible.lu/](http://www.in-visible.lu/) (logo on top left corner) that is really fantastic… & i really wanted to know to make also an effect like this, (kind of a water effect when go with the cursor over it) perhaps a very gentle soul could help me out and tell me!!! please it looks really great, well i don’t really know either with which software it had could been done, but i suppose Flash5 so i hope to hear from u jorge ---

Someone asked that same question a while ago, and it turned out to be a Java applet. It has to be doable in Flash too, but it’d be pretty hard I guess. pom 0] ---

it would be hard and it would eat all but the biggest Processors…it wouldn’t really be worth the time and effort ---

Indeed! Maybe once Flash ZY (aka Flash 25) is out… But the good news is: the applet is free for non commercial use, just links back to the devellopers site… ---

Ultimately it would be really nice to be able to do this in Flash. Think about it… we could place a moving picture under the water ripple, imitating a reflection of something above the water… \<\\> That would be great. But there is a difference… Flash’s math is streaming, and an applet is compiled. I’ll bet that you could do this in c++ but no… it wont work in Flash. ---

i think…wait…yeah, I have an idea. Do you have Flash Math Creativity? that scripter from Chile had a flag effect…I mean, if you wanted to do a reflection sort of thing, you could make the flag slide horizontally and flip it to reflect the thing on the surface…bah I’m not explaining myself very well…give me a couple of days to straighten my room and my life around and I might be able to come up with something… ---

LOL Jeff 🙂 I had to turn my laptop upside down to get a look at ya : Here’s the same ripple [javaboutique.internet.com…index.html](http://javaboutique.internet.com/waterpic/index.html) ---

yeah I took that picture when I was at a party w/ my friends. I was drunk at the time and I thought the camera was the right way. ---

Water efex in Flash is possible, and it would be really easy. For more info visit: FF10 page of [squaresoft.com](http://squaresoft.com) View FF10 intro, it contained REAL WATER EFECT ---

It’s not the same sir. I appreciate you finding that… but we’ve seen it already. It’s a far cry short of the applette “ripple”. still good, and definitely something people should try if they are doing water effects in Flash… but it’s not the same.
