Greetings To All:

```
I am so new to flash mx(in fact never used it, I feel really stupid) I really want to learn, but I don't have the cash to invest for schooling. Can anyone tell me the best way to go about making what looks like waves of a swimming pool? I am helping my bro-in-law make a homepage for his website to sell pools. Thanks to all.

                  Don

A simple animation using textures created in photoshop.  
This should give yo a good start.

the better the effect (for the effect in the last post), the more mask you’ll be using (incrementing the difference between the images/masks by 1 px each time) which means it will be cpu intensive…
