This is a lava lamp assignment I am currently working on. Still alot I want to do with it in terms of making it look better... which is why I'm here!

1. How can I make the blobs look better? Like makign it look more 3D or having a good lighting effect on them?

2. When you use an actual lava lamp, suppose the blobs are floating, but then you turn it off.. then the blobs eventually come back down. Would this be possible to do in Flash with what I currently have right now? If not, are there alternatives to this which are not as good but acheive a similar goal to this?

Thanks for your help.

Can anybody help?
