Advanced Water Effect

Awesome, Realistic, Welcome to AD

Very COOL effect!

Good stuff

Good water effect

Excellent work with the DMF

Beautifully done, bookmarked

Wow! Great work!

Hi,

Is the water animation , done using any particle system?

If I put a bear in the middle of the lake, can the water hit the bear and go around it?

Thanks.

Can I easily implement a movie clip instead of a static image (like clouds moving and reflecting in your water effect)? I think that is what you mean where you mention “Many options for setting images (Library linkage name, Bitmap instance, MovieClip instance)” but I just want to be sure. Thanks!

Hi, I cant seem to see a preview of the effect and hence its difficult for me to decide.

Can you Please double check.

Cheers, Vishal

I Just purchased your software, unfortunately I just realized I am working with flash cs3, can you help please I really like the effect and would like to use it with out having to spend more money for cs4 or 5 Thanks Patrick

yes, I do need the cs3 version Thanks Patrick

I’m a noob and I found this one of the easiest effects I’ve purchased to implement; and it looks fantastic. Great job!

I’m having some trouble with this file (sorry, I’m VERY much a Flash novice!) The tutorial has steps that don’t match up with what files I actually have. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1. Created a new AS3 file.

2. Imported my Base + Water images.

3. This is where I started getting confused. You said to copy sources/component.fla to the active Library. There is no “sources” folder nor is there any file called component.fla. I just assumed that you meant WaterEffect.fla in the Source_Code folder. I opened this up, copied “WaterEffect” and pasted it into my other project.

4. “Copy the fl folder from the sources folder…” again, I was not sure what you meant here since there is no sources folder. I tried copying “fl” to the directory where my new project is saved (C:\) but in the next step, when I try to set the class for the images, it says the class path cannot be found.

Can you help me with this? All I really want to do is apply this effect to a single image (a large picture of water.)

Edit: I tried the code method as well. However, I get an error upon trying to test the movie:

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: waterEffect.

On line:

var effectB:waterEffect = new WaterEffect();

Thanks for your reply. What you’ve described is exactly what I’ve done. However, I still get an error when I try to set the class of my WaterImage.png to “WaterImage” -

“A definition for the class could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically generated in the SWF file upon export.”

To be absolutely clear, I have my FLA File (my_watereffect.fla) in a folder called Test. The fl folder (copied from source_code) exists in the Test folder. I then opened WaterEffect.fla from the source_code folder and companied the Component Assets and WaterEffect over.

I’ve checked several times and I haven’t missed anything with regards to files or their locations. I’m still getting the error (using Flash CS4 .) So, I’m still at square one…

I just purchased the advanced water effect not realizing that it is CS5 . I have CS3 . Do you have a CS3 version available?
