[this](http://images.p7d6.arixmedia.com/pr/MP0019BL.jpg) colored tentacles you see…Idd like that to move like its inflated with air, like the “figures” you see sometimes at footbalstadion.
I really dont know how to create this (with AS, not tweens).
If anyone knows, pls share with me 😃
thx

Here, I cooked up a quick demonstration. I used lines here though to speed up the process, you can create virtual point objects instead if you want.
Width: The radius of the opening.
Sway: The amount of upwards bobbing/swaying;
SwaySpeed: The speed of the waves.
Just fiddle around with the settings. Hope this helps you in any way 🙂

That was a really nice code Eilsoe… thanks…
In Eilsoe’s case he created segments which move and join the outer boundry and make a waving motion…
Basically in such motion where object needs to be moved in cycles for vibration use sin/cos function.
Other option would be to use curves that animate by changing control points…

thanks 🙂
you can use other ways than creating lines like I did, it was just to create an example…
