Hi All, I’m brand spanking new to this world of flash. I have made a ripple effect I plan on using on my website, but I would like to make the ripples only appear when clicked on. I found a tutorial on this but it was for flash 4 and I’m using MX. Since I’m new to this actionscripting is something I have not mastered yet, so I don’t know how to translate ity from Flash 4 to MX. Can anyone help me? ---

See that’s the code I wanna see from senocular! However ratchez, your movie is all done with masking and tweens! You could redo it without clips and keep it all on the main timeline put a keyframe on frame 2 and stick the code below into frame 1. stop(); this.onMouseDown = function(){ gotoAndPlay(2); } ---

mines masking and tweens… actually its been a while since I made it (its flash 5) so I dont remember. Youre more than welcome to the source to anything I have.

actually looking back on it, its not exactly the easiest thing to follow… I did though (surprisingly) do a lot of commenting. If you get totally baffled, let me know and I can walk through it. ---

Took me a while but I kinda got my mind around it. seems mx might have some easier ways to do it. Great file though! ---

oh yeah, there was some workarounds for the ripple movement in F5, but MX wasnt out then 😉 masking would be a lot easier especialyl now that its completely dynamic
