Mirage-effect for image

[librarc]

I would like to make an image appear like a mirage in flash for a client. I have no idea how it is done, can someone please help?

Mirage?
I wonder if you're talking about that nifty old java app that has a reflective watery image at the bottom of a picture? Know what I mean?

If that's the case, and you're working in flash- you will need to play with tracing the bitmap image and animating it. This would be placed upside down directly beneath the still image. Be very careful about how images are sized because you risk losing the "smoothness" of the animation.

There's a very informative page for flash users called "flashkit". Check through their tutorials if I'm misunderstanding your needs.
