FLASH: Aquarium: "watery" effect to simulate

[p-h]

Hi there ! Most of you may know the famous "ripple" effect used to simulated

relection in a pond or something like that...

Now I would like to exted the concept to a small MC with fishes swimming

around on an appropriate background, and with some kind of overlay to

"water-like" optically distort it  because I fear it will otherwise look

much too flat.


Any idea someone ?


Thanks in advance

Oh - and of course I have to deliver soon ;o)

| Sorry, but there isn't an explicit doubleclick event in Flash itself...

| buttons have press, release, release-outside, rollover, rollout, dragover

| and dragout events, but not an automatic doubleclick, sorry.

|

| If you're comfortable with scripting you can simulate this by assigning

the

| getTimer value to a variable. Here's an example in pseudo-script:

|

|   on click

|     if (theVariable - theTimer) < someValue then

|        --  it was close enough to be a doubleclick

|     else set theVariable to theTimer

|   end click

|

| I don't think we have a technote with a fully-commented version yet, and

| I'm not sure whether any of the other contributors to the culture have

also

| written up examples... I'm trying to catch up after the FlashForward

| conference now, but I'll try to get a fully-worked example on this soon.

In

| the meantime, I hope the above pointer might be of some use in your work.
