Displacement Maps
While we are all excited about the enhanced performace of Flash 8, I have found it's very easy to murder CPUs with cool looking tricks such as these.
Thats a bunch of duped MCs in a bitmap blurred and then made into a displacement map. Nice underwater effect. Totally useless due to performance though. I used this effect in my last Squiggle Squid proto but it is barely noticable.
