Not sure this will get you the effect you're looking for, but I have a feeling that Quasimondo's aqua glass effect would be extremely useful in a water/ripple effect:

Also, the 3d flip effect mentioned in the previous post can be found here (although not true 3d, it looks really close):

(Note: this is for ActionScript 2 I believe, and it would take some work to port to Flex 2 / AS3 likely).

If any of you do achieve those effects, it would be much appreciated if you shared them with the community!

Cheers,

Brian

Not to hijack omkar's thread regarding the ripple effect, but ...

I also love the metaphor of flipping the widgets to expose their customize controls (which is also demonstrated in the video).  It is a nice UI metaphor ... assuming we can make it sufficiently "discoverable" and get users conditioned to look for it.

Regarding Igor's reference to "waterEffect in the Gskinner blog", can anyone provide the link?  I used google to search Grant's site and the best I could find is a reference in the outline from last year's " Flash 8 Workshop":

Demo: Water ripple effect with perlin noise

Thanks omkar and Igor!
