Bob, what does this command do again?

[johnie]

This command will do what again,

$rmode$
ripple

I'm trying to do a water ripling effect on a semi-transparent layer above a bit map.

Sorta like this http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Special_Effects/Reflecti-William_-5/index.shtml

and was wondering if that command might help?

[Bob Hartzell]

It is only used for importing text effects and tells the software how to do font and font size replacement in the text effects template file.

[johnie]

Okay,

do you have any ideas on how to duplicate that effect?

[BradBradleySL]

Maybe use morph, and adjust by hand each the points to create that irregular pattern water has, then morph between frames to create a smooth transition.

[johnie]

I'll try that.

[johnie]

Nope,

When you try to morph a gradiant to a bitmap filled shape it crashes the program.

[johnie]

I did get KoolMOveas to fade out a bitmap by accident attempting this but it will not export.

I also tried a transparant shape over the bitmap and although I did achieve some splashes, The refraction wasn't there.

[johnie]

Eureka I did it-sorta;

Will submit it later tonight.
