FLASH: ~~Shaking~~ a background

[Jefferis]

I want to create the impression of the ground shaking at the footfall of 

a large animal.


I started to create an MC of a landscape. I grouped the trees and earth 

into one symbol and then moved the symbol in sequential keyframes off a 

few pixels from each other 

[ie right 2 px then up 2 px, then down 2 px and then left 2 px., etc. ]

The problem I can see is that already it is going to create to large a 

file/processing time.


This is akin to the problem I encountered trying to create realistic wave 

motions in my first Flash attempt months ago. 


Anyone have any ideas how to do this without creating a huge processing 

drag on Flash and slowing the frame rates to a crawl?
